2x ClearPower Outdoor Lighting Timer with Indoor/Outdoor Extension Cord
I got a set last time they were offered I’ve used the heck out of em. The remote control is the cat’s meow!
the 12 foot cord is easily worth $14
Is ts pretty good quality and has been quite durable. I used the timers for Christmas decorations. the remote control really made control of the lights Really Easy. I’m debating on ordering another bundle. They will certainly get used, heck the neighbors asked where I got them and let them know if I can get more. Boom Here they are neighbors will be happy
@courteousblock@el1c1a I can’t find mine now or else I’d check. Seemed to be solidly built.
I think they will use Chinese & European metric markings instead of American wire gauge. AWG.
But equivalent to 16 ga sounds right.
@werehatrack sorry to say, it seems like we are headed for permanent DST which I don’t want at all. I’m a morning person, or used to be. So I hated the long dark mornings. But lately have turned (literally) to roll over and cover my head and get extra sleep.
That actually sounds like a pretty useful setup, especially with the remote. Being able to control the lights without going outside would definitely come in handy. The 12-foot cord is a nice bonus too.
I got these previously also. All first rate quality materials. I have an indoor lamp hooked up to one, and it reliably ignores changes in other indoor lighting, but turns on when the daylight through the room’s windows begins to dim. Convenient for just regular lighting, and especially nice to leave on when we travel.
Can I assume the remote is RF, not IR? If so, that is worth a good bit by itself, can be used to connect lamps to switch behind furniture, turn on with remote, set timer, etc, hell, I may have just convinced myself to buy one!
@accelerator Good to question, and it seems there is no explicit info from manufacturer website, but all things point to it being RF, especially since it is targeted for outdoor use, triggered from inside. Here is what ChatGPT had to say - The 80-ft range + A23 battery combination makes RF substantially more likely than IR, but that’s an inference rather than a manufacturer-confirmed specification.
@accelerator And Claude goes a step further, says - the remote uses a 12V (23A) alkaline battery — a battery type that shows up specifically in the RF versions of these remotes (BN-LINK’s spec sheet lists the same “12V/23A Battery Included in Remote”).
The physical remote in your photo (single central LED, one button per mode, no visible IR emitter lens) matches these RF remotes’ design, not a typical IR remote’s clustered-button layout with an emitter window.
I fear this device. It seemingly “knows” Earth science and comprehends broad concepts of astronomical phenomena. I’m still struggling to understand DST while this device has mastered geophysics and quantum mechanics.
Oh, I got these last time they were offered on meh and they work flawlessly. The remote control is awesome!
Is it Alexa compatible like everything else in my house? A friend that works for the government says that they can hear everything we say over Alexa by spying on us. I tell him I’m not that interesting. The answer could be in all of the print that comes with this ad. But who wants to read all that crap so somebody just tell me all right already.
I’m assuming there isn’t a dip switch or anything so that you can use 1 remote for both timers? I want this just for turning lamps on and off at my office, and using a single remote would be convenient.

What gauge is the extension cord?
@courteousblock looks like it’s 16

Good deal, nice price. Already got too many of these otherwise I’d buy.
What I really need is a dimmer for the solar lighting. And a timer to undo DST would be helpful, too.

I don’t have to assume, I just checked and Google Gemini confirmed it is RF remote, so I’m in!
@UncleMel The only thing to assume is assumption itself.
I’m assuming Gemini actually knows. Where did it pull the information from?
