Could I use this one with a programmable electrical outlet timer (like those that you can set to turn lamps on and off at particular times)?

Hi and there is not an outlet ON the crock pot to use a timer, but I think if you plugged the cord for timer into the cord for the crock pot then the timer plug into the outlet it should work.

Since the timer activates with darkness I would say no. You could turn the switch to "on" and plug it into the lamp timer. Of course it won't show as brightly as it would from a dark room.

This timer is intended for a "typical" lamp with a two-prong plug. If the intended device has a third prong (ground) I would not recommend using this timer.

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 can use the switch to turn the lamp on and off so long as the application has the device powered to the "on" position. The device essentially controls power to the lamp, so it must be "on" via the application to allow power to reach the lamp. Conversely, if you turn the lamp off, then the application will be unable to turn the lamp on. The lamp switch must be in the "on" postition for the application to be able to control the lamp. Be sure to leave the lamp in the on position if you intend to leave the house and control the lamp remotely.

Yes you can but it is not advised because if you turn it off by the lamp switch and have it on an automated schedule it won't work.

Not 100% sure, but from my experience this is just a 24 hour timer-not programmable the way you require- I recommend a different one for that function.

There is not a traditional timer outside the light sensor system. Since I decided to mount my unit inside, I ended up just pluging it in a standard $10 lamp timer which I can set how I want. I just keep the unit pack in the on position.

The only way that you could do that is to wire an outlet that was controlled by the switches. You also would not be able to use florescent bulbs in the lamp.

Can this timer be used with. a12volt, automotive battery, to control 12volt led light strips, on a mobile display sign?

I've only tried the timer with a Lamp; but I don't think it should be a problem using a device that uses an AC adapter as long as it doesn't draw too much power/amps. The timer is a 2-prong device, so you'll need to connect 2 prong devices to it.

Short answer, no. The light is divided into two segments of two and has two plugs. Besides buying plug in timers no you can't.

No, the timer interrupts the power from the outlet like a wall switch that has turned off power to the outlet/lamp. The lamp switch can only be used when it comes on in the morning for about an hour, like if you really do not want it on or to stop it from coming on, but do not wish to unplug the timer. Of course if you turn off the light at the lamp switch you will have to remember to turn it back on so the lamp will come on the next morning using the timer. I have the most basic model, if there are programmable models and you have one, I can't help you there.

Sam, I use this timer for CFL's and just about anything that needs a timer Hid,Hps lights anything you want.I like this style of timer because it's easy to setup. You can you use the daylight saving feature where the timer will automatically change one hour for daylight saving time when you set the date for timer to change. I just skipped the feature when I set the timer up.I recommend this timer for ease of use and full of setting features.

Yes. I don't use it that way but it's really just like one of those things you plug in to give you more outlets to a single plug-in with the option to switch it off. I love mine. I use it as an on/off switch for an antique lamp. Makes on/off as east as pie without having to install a switch on my Victorian lamp.

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

You have to turn the lamp on, but it won't be "on" until the timer completes the circuit (i.e. until it hits the on period that you want)
