What Will a Timer Do?

Indoor and outdoor lighting timers are designed to automatically turn lights
on or off when you can’t. Don’t want to waste money lighting
up your outdoor holiday lights while you’re sleeping? Install an
outdoor timer! Want your lights to turn on before you arrive home from
work? Install an outdoor timer!

How Does It Work?

Depending on the type of timer you purchase, you may have a few options
for how you light your home. Some timers work similar to a kitchen timer,
allowing you to turn a dial to determine how long you want your lights
to remain on for, typically in two hour increments up to eight hours.

Other holiday lighting timers utilize an internal clock, allowing you to
set specific times for your indoor or outdoor lights to turn on and shut
off. For example, if you want your lights to remain on from 5:00 p.m.
and shut off at midnight, simply set your timer for 5:00 p.m. and midnight!

Where Can I Purchase a Holiday Lighting Timer?

Holiday lighting timers are fairly inexpensive (approximate prices range
anywhere from $10 – $30) and can be purchased at almost any hardware
store, including; Lowe’s, Home Depot, as well as places like Walmart
and Sears.
