Whether you’re someone who’s always away or someone who needs a constant reminder, light timers are what you need! A light timer is an electrical circuit with a built-in clock. It communicates between the power source and the light to switch it on or off based on the settings provided. They are available in different sizes and comes with controls ranging from circular dials to digital settings.
Most timers implore a plug-and-play feature. All you need to do is plug it in the wall outlet, plug the light source in, and set the time. Indoor gardens use timers, but other appliances can also use the item for other things.
Timers are great in maintaining an effective light cycle. However, they are not foolproof like anything else. Timers work by controlling the power flow traveling to the light source. Therefore, if the light source does not stay in the on position, the light will not work too. Timers don’t work like security lights. They do not store power in them for future use. During a blackout, your lights will not work even if it is connected to a light timer.
