Leviton VPT24-1PZ Vizia + 1800W Incandescent, 15A Resistive, Inductive 1HP 24-Hour Timer with Astronomical Clock, White/Ivory/Light Almond Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
- Clear installation instructions.
- Easy to program the automatic sunset/sunrise times.
- Informative display.
- Built-in rechargeable backup battery; no need to replace disposable batteries.
- Works well with LED bulbs (I am using an INCU7W 7W LED bulb). See below.
Cons:
- Pricey (I have seen timers for about $25).
- No long-term experience with the built-in rechargeable battery.
- Display is difficult to read unless the backlight is on.
Notes:
1. If you want to use the automatic sunset/sunrise time to control a load, you need to perform 3 steps: program the time/date, set your latitude and longitude, and finally set one on/off event.
2. My previous timer, an Intermatic EJ500 timer, did not turn off the power completely when it should have been off. This problem became evident when I replaced an incandescent bulb with a LED bulb. The LED bulb would blink every few seconds while the timer was in the "off" position. I did not notice it when I used an incandescent bulb because the latter needs much more power to generate light than the LED bulb. The blinking did not consume much power, but many guests told me that my light is burnt out. The problem was rectified by installing the Leviton VPT24.
