Can you program the on/off times or do you have to use the photocell to start the timer?

It can be programmed to go on for 1 to 9 hours a day. It will repeat the program on following days.

It can go off photo cell or it has time blocks of 4,8,12 hours. Easy solution is just buy a 5 dollar timer and plug it into that.

See "Wookies" ans: This is best solution to your case: "It can go off photo cell or it has time blocks of 4,8,12 hours. Easy solution is just buy a 5 dollar timer and plug it into that." Wookie answered on January 3, 2014

You can set the off/on timer for up to an 8 hour period, but I do not think you can do it on interval times.

I ony use the photocell but I know it has a option to have it come on with the photocell and stay on for a specific number of hours rather than turn off with the photocell also.

I assume you mean timer. No, as far as I know. As a matter of fact I don't think it has an on/off switch at all.

You are correct. There is no ON/OFF switch. This unit pairs nicely with a cheap plug-in timer from a hardware store (under $10). Then you can set the length of time you want it to run, and the timer will switch it off.

No , it comes on by photocell . You can only program the number of hours of lighting....not different stations.

Unfortunately, no. You can't even use an external timer since the only on-off control is a toggle pushbutton. We have to remember to turn it on about 2 hours before retiring.It feels so good to get into a warm bed that we rarely forget.

I agree with David. I have mine on a switch and simply turn the switch off if I don't want it to come on that evening or if I want to turn it off early. No need to disable the photocell. It's a great light, very bright and very economical. I've had it for a year now. Jim

You can set multiple on/off events. If you program it for your time zone it should automatically adjust I believe. I did not choose this feature when programming mine. Also go to Utube for how to videos as the directions can be a bit difficult at first. The unit is not for outside use and does not sense the ambient light in the area.

This is an excellent timer, and I have installed several. However, if you use the automatic DST feature to constantly adjust the "ON" time as the seasons change, then the length of time that the lights remain "ON" will constantly change as well. What I means is that in the programming mode, you would have to select a specific time for the lights to turn back "OFF". If the current automatic DST sunset brings the lights on at 8:00pm, you could program the "OFF" time as 10:00pm. However, in a few months the sunset time will automatically adjust to 5:30pm (depending where you live of course) however the "OFF" program will remain at 10:00pm. In most cases this isn't a problem, in fact it's usually a convenient solution for most lighting control. Hope this helps. P.S.- I find these timers to be way easier to program than any other in the wall timer I've encountered, and there are no batteries to change.

No you can't! It can be set to time start@end with a maual on off switch it can't be set by day. Hope this helps.

I am sure the timer allows you to manually override the timed settings. (Most timers do allow this.) The On/Off buttons provide this capability.

I'm not aware of this function being available. The nightlight looks pretty simple, so I would be shocked if there was any ability to control the timer.

It can be operated from a switch and you can bypass the photo cell. There isn't any need to bypass it when it's operated by a an on and off switch.

The timer sets the off time (1-9hrs) after the photocell turn it on. My two work just fine with a start time seemingly after it gets fairly dark, not just dusk. If you have a night lighting issue you could consider putting a small shield on the door where the photocell is located so it will only see daylight. I have one located about 4 ft below a light and it does not bother the unit when the light is turned on, no mod necessary. Good product at a good price.

No, you can only program the time for lights to come on and go off, but can do that multiple different times each day, or different times on different days. User manual is here http://www.aubetech.com/manuel/2/TI033.pdf

There is a button. On, off and night. It can not be individually set on timers for day and night light.

There is a bypass switch on the unit, so you can turn off the timer function without having to change the settings. Then you can turn the lamp on and off using the lamp's switch.

Yes. You have option of using timer or not using timer. I have mine on 4+ hours a day at my office.
