Defender 24 Hour Segment Timer Switch - Energy Saver Plug Standard Size - Programmable Time Controller

An excellent item, easy to use. Nearly any number of on-off periods may be set. Nowadays you might find a plug-in smart switch will do all you need and much more, and can be controlled remotely over the internet.

I have used this timer as a timer for the lights on my fish tank and it works well and consistantly.

Good quality old fashioned style timer which is durable, easy to set up, and effective. Quite big and impedes on the adjacent plug socket on the extension lead but with a few swaps here and there it's manageable!Instructions fine but watched a YouTube clip to clarify how to set this up!

These are great plug timers. Smart plugs are great but cannot be reset remotely so if you aren't near the device - so if they update the software or the wifi goes down no matter what app/brand you have you have to still manually reset them so these dial/manual timers are fabulous to have in addition and a great back up if the smart plugs go down/offline. These plugs have not failed me yet! I know that if my smart plugs go down then these great devices will work as normal. Good size although if plugging into an extension or multi socket/gang plug then possibly can't put normal plug into socket next to the one this is using but thats not an issue for me. Battery life so far so good. Complete accuracy as well. Really highly recommend!!!

This is a very easy to use product , well made which arrived the next day after ordering.However, after a few months, the clock mechanism began to lose time.I contacted the seller and received a new timer switch in a few days - no arguments !!!A very responsible and reliable company .

Reasonably priced and so far it is working well. Super easy to set up. Just move the dial to the current time and press the little 15 minute segments down according to the times you want it to switch on the electric to your appliance. Make sure the switch on the side is set to timer and then just plug it in. There is an override switch on the side which allows you to turn it off and then it just becomes a normal socket. When you do this the timer still works so no need to re-set it when you turn it back on.UPDATE I originally gave this 4 stars but I've cut it to 3 because I've found it makes an irritating clicking noise as the timer dial turns. It's loud enough for me to hear it when I'm watching the television.

Perfect use for room lamps, especially good when sockets are hidden or less accessible. Visual appeal not a problem, it's functional over form. Perfect size, lightweight, timer is well made.Way simpler than having to faff with Bluetooth and Alexa and WiFi just to put a light on when you want. You just have to remember to tweak the times as it gets darker earlier or reset if there's a power cut. And the override switch on the side is useful if you want light earlier or later than what you set.

Good value for money
