has anyone used this light on a timer - how was it wired?

I decided NOT to put on a timer only because if the time ever fails outside due to weather which it will for sure, you will have no way to know and will have no security light during that outage. AZ Greg

the assembly has it's own timer settings. the timer allows the dimmest lighting to have 3 settings after dusk. if power was provider via a with a separate timer, the dimmest lighting would begin at the time the power was applied from the timer. regardless, the motion detector works in the dimmest and full on mode. the lighting is half power for a time selected by you and will come on again whatever mode that it is. simplest answer is yes. it wires up just like a normal light, black to hot white to neutral and ground to ground. white and ground came be together in older homes.

I used a 12v battery ( which is charged from a solar panel,) to power the timer and the led strip lights. Works perfectly. Lights run 4 hours a day, timer is always drawing a small amount of power from the battery.

Yes it will work on a timer. Only thing is, only one setting at a time will operate. Like if you wanted it to go on in the morning and off at night. You would have to manually switch from day lights to night lights in order to use the blue ones for night.

THE light will only work wired one way ,, it does not hurt the light if you get it wrong, its a goood light i love it

I have one in a motion controlled socket and it works fine there. No reason it shouldn't work in any on-off type controlled fixture.

Yes I have. I got 6 of these from Amazon. Set all 6 up and plugged them in. Next morning, all lights were still on and timers never moved. Then returned them and got 6 more, same problem. All going back to Amazon. I will try Home Depot now.

not sure I use mine dry basically I wired a light bulb configured to controller. you could coat it with a rubber coating but not sure how accurately it would read

The timer does not have pigtail leads for the input. It has two tabs (+ and -) so you can solder or use crimp-on female terminals to attach your wiring.

I am running about 240 watts of incandescant lighting on this timer and it hasn't failed. So I suppose that since LEDs use such a small amount of electricity there should be no issue whatsoever.

Sorry, did not use this timer. Used a Defiant timer that was more user friendly font led outside lights

I have not used it on a timer but I think if you put the toggle switch to ON and then plug it into a timer, it should work.

I do not understand the validity of the inquiry. the Timer provides a source of intermittent current ...what does the bulb have to do with the process?

I haven't used it in conjunction with a timer but it does work with a dusl til dawn sensor so I would assume that it would work with a timer as well as long as the fixture is compatible with the bulb itself.

You are correct. I have had mine and it did the same thing. Pushing the reset and timer button and the light went out. I cant find my manual. Thank You!

The wiring is simple. In most cases, you have a Line- the power source. It consists of a hot wire (usually black), a neutral (white), and a ground (bare copper or green). Black goes to #1, white goes to "A", ground goes to green screw at bottom of enclosure. For the Load (light, motor, etc. that you want timer controlled), attach white to "A" (the same point as Line white (neutral), ground to green screw (like Line ground) , and remaining colored wire from Load, to #2. Simple! 2 wires + grd. IN (Line) - 2 wires + grd. OUT (Load). Hope this helps. God Bless.

I have not put a timer on mine , but after your question, I tried programming in different cplot,and modes,then cut the power with a wall switch, and it has come back on in the same mode.
