I would like a timer that comes on a half hour before sunset. But I want it to go off at a select time, like 1 a.m. Can this timer do this?

Just set the time a half hour ahead and it will come on a half hour before sunset. I can't imagine you will be using it as a clock since it will probably be close to the floor where the plug is.

The answer to the first part is a little complicated. I don't see an option that allows setting an on/off event which is offset in time relative to dawn/dusk. However, it does let you define the dusk and dawn time during the initial setup. So technically, if you set the dusk time to half and hour before it actually occurs, that should work. The answer to the second part is definitely yes. You can set it to go off at 1 am or any other time of the day, down to a specific minute.

...If you want it to come on somewhat before sunset (like 30 minutes) without entering an incorrect current time, just tell it you are at a farther north latitude. (try about +8 degrees for ~30 minutes early)

The previous answer was right on - it won't directly but you can set ON time for dawn or dusk for your latitude or a set time, but not a combination to my knowledge. You can set it to go off at any time or at dawn or dusk [e.g., mine go on at dusk and off at 1100pm]. As the previous respondant noted, you simply set the time 30 min ahead of actual time, and it will go on 30 min before dusk. Of course, remember to add 30 to the off time.

The timer comes on close to sunset. I don't think it can be set for a half hour before sunset though. Sometimes it seems to get dark inside the house before the light comes on - but that has more to do with if it's cloudy or sunny outside. You can set it to sunset and then select any time you like for it to go off.

yes,first "select",then tap "timer". it starts show 0.5 for 30 minutes delay. keep taping timer to get what you want and let it go.

Like another customer indicated don't waste your money. This is not a good product. I had the same issue with the timer not shutting off. I complained to the manufacturer and the two replacements they sent me had the same issue. The answer to your question is that yes you can set it to any amount of time you want but it just might not shut off when you want. btw orbit does make some good product, just not this one.

There is a built in clock that can be programmed to turn it on and off at what ever time you program into it. It's automatic once you set the times you want :-)

Small arrow on inside dial...set the time of day here.....push out the little pins for the time you want the lights to come on.....if you want the lights to come on at 9pm until 11 pm push all the pins between 9p and 11p out....nice timer I used for landscape lights and two fountains works like a charm and they are all outside so its water proof also...nice timer any other questions?

Sir, you can set it for whatever particular time you want. So you specify when it comes on and when it goes off. Robert

I don't know. I just turn it on and turn it off. There are many options for timing. The directions that came with it are very complete and detailed. There is a clock for timing. I wasn't interested in those options so didn't read carefully.

Only by using an external timer, this thing does not have a clock built in. It will, if set to do so, turn on at dusk for a number of hours you can configure, but dusk keeps changing of course...If you want to have this turn on and off at a set time, use an external timer device. Something like this: Intermatic P1121 Heavy Duty Outdoor Timer 15 Amp/1 HP

Yes. AFTER TIMER GOES OFF, YOU PRESS STOP AND IT IS ALREADY SET FOR NEXT 20 minutes. You only need to press start again.

There is no timer that I know about. This is a motion detector light. Mine is in a stairwell which is a little dark even during the day so with motion is goes on. I do not know if it will turn on during daylight hours, probably not. I really like this light.

No, the timer is preset. No fancy option to change. And I'd be careful with purchasing this. Our stopped working after just a few weeks.

There is a timer but not a clock. The start time is always determined by sunset or darkness. The amount of "on" time after sunset is what you set (1 to 9 hours). Or you can set it to be always on when it's dark out.

I don't think it works like that, if I'm reading you right - like a timer you set to turn off. It goes by an internal clock you set ahead of time where you set the "on" time and "off" time for each event. I suppose you could set the timer right up until the moment you need it to turn on (maybe a few minutes leeway), but again, you'd have to program it to turn off also at a specific time. Hope that helps.

I think it's 3 seconds to half an hour or something like that. You can't set it specifically, you just have to turn the dial and test it.

Currently, I have it on 1 hour before sunrise, then off at sunrise. For night operation it is on at sunset off at 10. I believe it can be set like you want also.

nope, no timer function. you'd have to manually change its mode each night.

It is designed to turn on and off by time of day, and does not have a countdown timer function. I suppose one could set it to turn off 30 minutes from the current time and it would do the job.
