Customer Reviews

Hunter 45040
I had high hopes for this product. I thought it would turn a light on in my living room before I returned home from work each evening. It turned it on in the day time, turned it off in the evening, turned on during the late evening and would not shut off after its alloted time. Gave up and unplugged it.

A waste of time and energy
I'm pretty handy and an engineer, yet this timer has me totally confused. It has my husband (another engineer) equally flummoxed. I've followed the instructions in several locations several times with each of two timers and no luck getting these to function the way described by the manufacturer. We ended up not using them for our vacation. "Easy Set" is a total misnomer.

Too complicated...
These timers have multiple settings all based on the photosensitive cell - basically, you set it to stay on a certain number of hours after dusk or can choose a random setting. Unlike other photosensitive timers I've used, this needs to have the sensitivity adjusted, so if you want the light to turn on when it's dark out, then you have to wait until the room is dark/at dusk to set it up. I suppose this gives you more flexibility - maybe you want the light to turn on if it's overcast, but again, to adjust to that sensitivity, you have to do it during an overcast period. I was expecting something I could just plug in, set at random and have the light turn on/off at dusk/when conditions were dark. This was way too complicated for me.
