Can these lights be used with a timer? If so, have you actually used them this way?

These are standard spiral cfls. They are immediate on/off lights. I would have to say that they should probably work fine with a timer as I can't think of any reason that they would not. No, I haven't actually used them this way, but with my understanding of electricity and how it would work, I can't see any issues with it. The timer should do no more than open up the flow of electricity to the bulb when the timer turns on and then restricts the flow of electricity when the timer goes off, so there should be no issues with them whatsoever. I hope this helps.

No. The timer is seperate. I purchased two of the light fixtures and they work great with my timers.They only have one plug so the blue and white light cannot be alternated.

I imagine that you could but they are not designed to run on full power all the time and I fear they would not stay bright for extended periods. They normally appear as a night light but when motion is detected the spotlight comes on.

Yes. I have these timers for several years for everything from Chirstmas Lights to turning on interior lights while away on vacation. Excellent quality.

I used a timer with my lights. It doesnt come with it. You will have to get one from your local hardware, home depot or lowes.

Not with the timer alone- you will need a DPDT Relay wired in with the timer and the other switch. It is not a beginner project.

Timer is there but not apparent . Lights turn off automatically 6 hours after being turned on. No timer to set. Works automatically.

Yes, the timer uses a relay (like a mechanical switch) to control the light.. any light type.I use mine with a regular CFL.

I don't use a controller for these, so I'm not familiar with that operation. I find them easiest to use with sound mode or constant color. I use my controller for other lights that require more control.

Yes. Plug the lights into the timer and turn the timer on. Use the remote to set the color, intensity, pattern, etc. When the timer again turns on the lights, they will be at how you last programmed.

NO, the light is just wires and lights, you would have to do any timers on the electrical side.

I use a timer on mine. One like I use on lamps when I go away for a week or so.

Sorry, did not use this timer. Used a Defiant timer that was more user friendly font led outside lights

i am currently using these in almost that exact fixture without any problems. you might find however (unless you set the motion timer to stay on a reasonable time when it is tripped) that the bulbs will not last as long as they would in a fixture that is turned on for a reasonable period of lighting time and then off. in my case the lamp is lit from approximately dusk to dawn continuously and they have lasted an extremely long period of time.

My light stays on most of the time... I haven't tried it on a timer though. I don't see why it wouldn't work with a timer.

I haven't used a timer. I don't think that it would very effective if you could figure out how to hook one up. The on-off button has to be physically pushed. Also, the batteries don't last long before a new recharge is necessary.
