Yes, but remember you seem to be missing one black tab. I believe you need the missing tab if you plan on two different time periods of lights on then off sequence.

Position red tab (push down and rotate to desired location) to set 'Time ON'. Similarly rotate black tab to desired 'Time OFF'. Rotate dial to set opposite arrow the current time-of day (black is nighttime, white is daytime. That's it.

I wonder if you may have entered different zones (North, Central or South) for the 2 units? I believe the unit also has a built-in function that turns the lights on/off at slightly different times to make it look a little random; however, I would doubt it would be 40 minutes). Below are YouTube videos that show how the timer can be set: - For "Fixed ON/OFF Programming" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDpzUEJrkbs - For "Programming Astronomic Timer" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCUtMHI7Lnc Hope this helps.

OK, I just found and changed the AUTO SET and the DST settings. I hope that does the trick. Thanks for the tip!

you don't set the time. it comes on at dark and stays on as long as you set it for. 2 thru 8 hours or till daylight.

It is a little confusing since the advertising literature mentions a manual override switch but there is nothing labeled manual override. There are essentially only two settings an auto setting where the lights turn on with motion only at night and turn off according to the TIME dial setting. The Dusk to Dawn Setting which I guess is closest to what you want is activated by turning the light switch that controls the light OFF and ON twice within three seconds. Once you do that the light should come one at DUSK and stay on for 6 hours. After 6 hours it will revert to the timer setting and come on and off when motion activated. It will stay that way unless you once again cycle the power on and off within three seconds. You cannot set this light one time to stay on as a "Floodlight". You have to cycle the power each day if you want the unit to come on for 6 hours at dusk each day.

Your Timer has Light Sensor as well Digital time program. This timer is done with Red and Green Pins the red for the time you want the lights to go off and the green for your lights to come on. I have both and prefer the Pin Timer

I don't think it's an atomic clock by any means but my power went out one day and the clock came back on with the correct time. But I believe that I'm gonna have to be adjusting it during during the seasonal time changes. And btw, I tried emailing the company about the dim feature that doesn't seem to work and the email they provided doesn't work. Don't know what's up there. Very unprofessional.

I put my unit in a walk in closet. There is a sliding switch under the cover plate to adjust time options. I never really timed it, but to start out it was set too short. I moved the slider up a little and now it stays on for about 3 minutes, which is just right for me. There is a lot more room to move it up if you want it on for a long time. The motion sensor works well, so if there is any movement in the room, the light will stay on anyway. But in my closet, sometimes a hanging shirt sleeve or something would cover the motion sensor and the light would go off too soon. Seems to be a good unit, and I will probably add more throughout the house when I get time.

This is a 24 hour timer. You can set it for whatever you like. I have the daytime lights turn on from 7:00 am to 8:oo pm and the night lights from 8:00 pm to 7:00 am.

I sat at my desk in the house and programed it. I have trouble seeing it where it is outside in the pump house. I can then just change the duration times as I need (still a bit hard to see). if it helps the time that first displays is always midnight

It is supposedly in a timer and there is no way to adjust the time. Honestly you are lucky it lights up at all.

Push down tabs for the time you want the light to stay on. It's a very easy timer and are definitely better than the dual timers. I just plug a power strip in mine.

The directions on my light box, was to sit an arm length from the light for 30 minutes in the morning. Don't look directly into the light, but just glance at it every 20 or 30 seconds. This seems to work for me.

Its easy! The switch on the right hand side turns it either on at all times (up position) or on the timer (down position). To set the timer, spin the dial to what ever time it is now, as you can see there are numbers 1-12. The dark side represents night time. each notch represents 15 minute interval. Raise the notches to the time you want the power to be on, all the rest have them pushed in. The dial when plugged in moves very slowly because essentially its rotating in a 24 hour period. You can plug it in, raise notches and spin the dial to test it out! Good luck!

Hello, please excuse my delay in responding. I have all three of them in different light settings, two of them (one in the rear bedroom and one in the front bedroom) is completely dark and it really makes it look like there is someone inside watching TV. The other one is in a half lit living room, since there is only a lamp turned on, but it also makes anyone believe from outside that there is someone watching TV in the living room. No... Outside street lights do not affect it too much. As a matter of fact, I have a public city light directly across the street from my home where one of these units is sitting in the front bedroom. I would say the post where the city light is about 50 feet away from the window. I do not know if it can be set up with a timer, since I have not tried it, primarily because I have it set in automatic, where it turns on by itself right after dark which is when I need it and turns off at first light in the morning, just like I want it to. I hope this helps!

Where is it, on the machine? When I turn mine on, it just goes to the timer times. How do I set it to be continueous?
