Works great, does have built-in delays for on and off.
When I tested out this light timer, I noticed it took 15 seconds after I covered the photosensor to turn on the light. That’s pretty common with photos sensor timers . However, when I shined a flashlight on the sensor, it didn’t go off after 15 seconds. Previous experience with these type of photos sensors told me there was some kind of delay involved.Turn off I checked the manual and it stated the if timer sees any light, it will wait 15 MINUTES before turning off during AND at the end of “on” interval set on the timer. This is to prevent intermittent lights, such as automobile lights, a neighbors porch light etc,, causing your lights to flash on and off. 15 minutes seems like a long time, but at least it’s leaving the light on during that time.Overall, I think this is a great product. I’m sure all the ones that look like it operate the same. You can get multiple plugs or single plugs. It has waterproof and dustproof ratings. It is made out of thick plastic and the dial feels pretty robust. It’s really simple to use and I think most people will just use it for the dusk dawn feature and be quite happy with it. . If for some reason it does not hold up, I will revisit my review.

using for outdoor string lights
Works well and seems durable enough. It does the job and was easy to set up.

Has held up to the outdoor elements.
I bought this for me outdoor bug zapper. It’s uncovered on a pole next to the house. Rain, sun, wind, still works just fine. Turns on in the evening, off in the morning.
Something sorta original –
It works
Had issues with the first one not working properly, they got a replacement out to me the next day and I haven’t had an issue and keeps working perfectly.

Good design, well-built, but quality assurance needs improvement
I ordered two of these HBN photocell activated switches to set up indoor security lighting for a vacation absence. One of them functioned flawlessly right off the bat, the other not at all. When the circuit is activated, whether by photocell or on manual override, a bright red indicator lights up. On the defective one that indicator never turned on, even on the “ON” setting. Because I knew the return process would ask, I checked to make sure the equipment that was not powered by the switch worked fine when plugged directly to the same outlet.These switches are designed by Intertek in the US and manufactured in China. They are built to take punishment, the stout cord looks strong enough to lift an engine block. But whoever has responsibility for quality assurance needs to pull the alarm and make some changes, because my defective switch failed the most basic test: it did not transmit current from one end to the other, never mind photocell or timer function.On the positive side, these are labeled for outdoor use but they work just as well inside. The photocell activates at the right time of dusk, not too soon (before sunset), not too late (after full darkness). I noticed this because an older generation timer I have turns on too soon, even with the photocell dialed to the darkest setting. And once activated, these switches deactivate the photocell until the cycle that was initiated has completed, no matter how many other lights you turn on.After I received the replacement switch I ran a one-week live test of my security circuits (one turns on a lamp, the other a TV in a different room, at staggered times) and both passed. I have been around the track enough times to have a close acquaintance with Murphy’s Law, so I allowed enough time for all this before I left for the airport.So my advice is, these are good switches when they are working. If you are willing to risk getting a dud, and to wait for a replacement to arrive, go for it. My guess is, if it is working, it will keep working. Just remember ol’ Murphy and allow yourself extra time. I dinged them a star for not finding the most basic defect there is before they cleared it for delivery to market!

Good outside timer

Works as promised
Needed to replace an outdoor dusk-to-dawn timer for our garden lights and got this one. For the first few weeks it seemed as if it was not providing enough current as the garden lights were dim or off. After that initial experience it is working fine for the last month.

Works very well and is very sensitive to the outdoor sunset. We bought the three plug one as it was cheaper than the one with two plugs!
