What is a good timer for turning on a lamp when I go out or leave town for several days?

I use an Intermatic model DT620CL to charge my wife's electric scooter once a week for four hours. The on/off intervals are endless. You can set it for specific hours any day or all days. You will not be disappointed. I have had mine in continuous use for two years. Rich

Yes. I have these timers for several years for everything from Chirstmas Lights to turning on interior lights while away on vacation. Excellent quality.

I imagine that a simple timer like you use for lamps could be used. That way you could plug the timer into an outlet and the projector into the timer. Hope that helps.

you can probably use a timer with this lamp. i keep mine on all day with a low-wattage nightlight bulb in it (7w) to keep a little light in the front foyer of my house all day. turn it off when i get home, then turn it on again before bed to keep a little light by staircase to illuminate steps. depending on the size wattage bulb you use, it illuminates enough light to serve its purpose. i use mine not as lamp to be visible from the outside (it's in a corner table in my front foyer by my front door) to be used as a low light just enough to illuminate the area for which it serves. but you can use a larger wattage bulb to produce more light. mind you, the lamp is small (see dimensions w/ ad) so it would never light up an entire room. they make this lamp in larger sizes as well. it is a beautiful, well-made lamp. the glass globe is beautiful. this was an excellent purchase for my needs and well-priced. i am sure you will not be disappointed. good luck!

buy a timer at any hardware/discount store or amazon and plug crock pot in to it. this one is digital so probably wont work, buy a crock pot with a manual dial and a timer if you want a delayed start. They make 2 different types of timers...lamp and appliance i would recommend the appliance timer.

Yes we have ours on a timer, but it can be setup for a standard switched light.

There is a bypass switch on the unit, so you can turn off the timer function without having to change the settings. Then you can turn the lamp on and off using the lamp's switch.

My version of this lamp does NOT have a timer.....just four settings of different light.

If you want to leave the other two lights on all the time this will work fine. Obviously if you turnthe switch off the unit will not work. If you turn the switch off and back on again later the motionsensor lamp will turn on and stay on for about 10 minutes then turn off and turn on when it sensesmotion

use pro cell batteries, I have had this lamp, with the same batteries, all summer, I use it to read while camping, as a night light, and leave it on auto to light when we go in and out of camper. Pro cell batteries will last SO MUCH LONGER

If you want it off at specific times you can attach it to a cheap timer you can get in any harddware store for a few bucks. The reason you can do that with this unit is that i has an automatic power interruption/restoration restart feature. External timers are equivalent to power failure, and most brands stay off after interrupted power comes back - not this one. The timer built in selects short intervals for round clock on-off, which is not what you want.

I think you mean lamp timers. If so, yes I use a timer with my lamp and it works perfectly.

I do not believe a timer would work with this item.When it comes back on after losing power it stays in the off position.

I love my lamps, but I mainly use them for when I get up in the night and don't want to wake anyone up. At my movement, they turn on so I can see. They are also great when a storm knocks out the electricity. I just searched Amazon and found this....Garrity L.E.D. Touch Lite Bright 3 Led Battery Operated Lamp, Great for Closets. This looks like a better solution.

The light has a timer on it. I use my light for several minutes and the brightness of the light is good for there size and price. I use the one I have on a metal building garage

Any timer would work fine with the light. Hydro farm sells a 7 day digital one that you can have different settings throughout the week but even a cheap analog timer from Walmart would work fine with it
