Can I put these lights on a timer? I am planning on installing them on the side of the deck and have it plugged into yardmaster!?

This is just a wired outdoor light. Nothing soecial. Wire to you AC electrical circuit.

Yes we have ours on a timer, but it can be setup for a standard switched light.

Yes you can, just make sure the lights dont get wet cause they are not water proof.

Short answer....YES. I have four of these operating outside lights and found them easy to install and function well. One problem, night critters (cats, raccoons, etc.) will turn them on. I set up a night camera and found what was causing it. Hope this helps..P'Cola Bob

Are there lights hooked up and do they work when you turn the timer to the on position? If the lights don't turn on and the timer doesn't turn it's probably busted. May have taken a power surge from a nearby lightning strike.

They are designed to be mounted into either a deck or patio. It requires drilling a hole. I don't think they would work well being mounted into dirt or grass. They are very small; about one inch diameter. Try landscape lights with a spike.

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

Supposedly. They're designed to be cut to length. But if it's for outdoor use, they don't hold up well so make sure its not a big project to put them up. There should be instructions included that describe where to cut the lights so that they'll still work.

No, I wouldn't use this outdoors. I would buy a grounded timer specifically rated for outdoor use.

The lights come on a roll and just follow the directions for placement. Included are stakes to keep them in place securely. They are extremely easy to apply to your lawn! They are not solar and we just used an outside timer (that we picked up at the local hardware store) which turned them and all our Christmas lights on at dusk and off at a pre-determined time. Hope that helps! :)

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.

You will unless you don't have an extension cord that reaches to an outlet from where you are outdoors. These are lights. They use electricity.

Yes it could. Cut it off and wire to switch. Be sure to connect positive wire to switch. I have my lights in the ceiling of my deck and have them plugged into a timer.

I don't think so. If you want to control when these lights either turn on or off, you should think about getting the non, dusk-to-dawn version of this light.

I would imagine you could put an extension cord in one of the day time slots to give you more plug ins. The lights don't draw that much electricity that it should be a problem. But just in case I would keep an eye on the temp. of the extension cord. Hope this helps.

Anything that you plug in to a timer will get power when the timer turns it on. These will light up upon getting power. They do not have a built in timer. They do not soft power on.

Sorry, I just got back to read my emails. This item is ok if you want to wire your garden area with special wiring for this type of light. I didn't read all the information about it and wanted a plug in to the outlet type. So I am going to eat this one for now. Maybe one day I might wire my whole backyard to have this type of lighting system. Sorry I could not help you more. Good luck.
