Timex Digital On-Off Lamp Timer
Very cool device.
For $19.99, you get a timer that lets you set an exact time for on/off, unlike other plug-in lamp timers.
You set it just like a digital alarm clock and then plug in your lamp - or any appliance up to 600W - to turn it on and off once per day.
They also have a 7-day version that will vary the on/off times daily, to make your empty home seem even more inhabited.

I have the timer pictured above and have lost the instructions for programming it. I plugged it in to charge and now I can't get it to do anything else. It says 18:88 and won't budge. Can someone help me to set it?
Thanks,
Connie

Susan Pfeuffer, Have you tried Rebooting your Pc? Your internal PC clock's time keeping quarts crystal can be osclating out of time with your Timex Timer. That can cause the above error that you found. Report back as to how this worked for you in case we have to try new options.

Well, Suze, you could wait a few more months, you know, after Christmas, like, and go to Target or Macy's or Walgreen's or KMart or Walmart or BestBuys or one of those kinds of places, whether they sell those or not, and tell 'em its a present but the dang thing don't work and didn't even work after you adjusted the hell out of it, and you want a new one by God. Just walk right in and tell em that, don't bother bringin a receit or the old dead one. Theyll probably just hand you one right over. Shoot, tell the manger you need more than one. Works for me.

Do you have any such timers the same color as the plug cover?

We are a medical device mfr. We are looking to replace a mechanical 0-30 minute timer with a relay to turn the system on or off.
Any suggestion. We will need about 100 per yr

sir-this is a suggestion-on ur timers u might want to add a red indicator light to tell if the timer is on-in my case the timer was on but the light bulb was burned out-the indicator light would only go on when the timer goes on- i have the model 12-879
