Cheap Sylvania SA130 15 Amp Digital Lamp Timer

Customer Ratings:

Put in the 2 (included) coin batteries, set the time, set the programs, and it's good to go. Easy to set & program. Easy to switch between programs (or to inactivate the programs). And the manual override (to turn the current on or off) is sooooo easy just push on the front cover, and it pushes the on/off switch inside (no need to unlatch the cover). Really excellent by FAR the best timer I have seen,and worth the money. Also handles up to 1800 watts so can use it to control a space heater (many lamp timers max out at 300W).

This timer is accurate and easy to use unlike other timers I have used. There is a problem though this timer was made to handle up to 1800 watts but you can only use a 2 prong plug in. So if you have a three prong plug in you can't use it, or you have to by an extension cord to plug in to the timer and the plug your appliance into the extension cord.

Best Deals for Sylvania SA130 15 Amp Digital Lamp Timer

Even in this HIGH TECH time, it is easy to find lots of junk that passes, on the surface, as something smart and reliable. SYLVANIA got this right. They are the KING of lighting and still leading innovators

in new energy saving products. I bought five of these and they work beautifully and are simple to operate. They are "astral" so if you go away for long periods of time and the time changes into daylight savings or visa versa, the timer will update that. Keep this in mind when saetting times. A bargain for the money in a sea of worthless crap.

Honest reviews on Sylvania SA130 15 Amp Digital Lamp Timer

This is a great lamp timer. It's capable of turning a lamp on every day based on your telephone area code coordinated with sunset times, and adjusts itself accordingly each day. There's a switch for daylight savings time. It has a battery back-up and doesn't have to be re-set when there's a power outage. The operation of the timer is completely silent, There are no dial noises or clicks when the lights come on. It also has an untimed outlet built-in, so it doesn't render one socket in an outlet inoperable. The construction seems sturdy, and the unit is certified by an electrical rating agency.

Minor problem:

Thought the batteries were dead as it wasn't working. Inspecting the battery holder again noticed the two metal tabs on either side could be push in. After pushing them in just a little put the batteries back in and the timer worked. Must not have been making contact until then.

Review:

First you set the time. Three buttons for that. The forward and back are used to change it.

Then you select program 1, 2, 1&2, or off and then edit the on and off times for whichever one you want.

Make sure the display shows the program you want to have working and that's pretty much it.

If you press on the front cover you can quickly turn what's plugged into the timer outlet on and off at will.

Well worth it.

Update (July 2013) -> It still works and has been working every night since 2007.
