Tools and Hardware Reviews of Swylite LST200+-W Dual Event Digital In-Wall Timer Switch with Backlight, WhiteCustomer Review: Works great!!! Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased two of these for the front and back lights at my new home. I installed two cheaper brands at the old house where I use to live, but discovered these while searching the net. The backlit display, the lights on to leave feature, and the variable on/off setting all make this timer invaluable. Not ever having to worry about your house lights is a wonderful thing. The only issue I had was with the wiring. Make sure you find the group of white neutral wires in your box. A regular light switch will most likely not be connected to it. I tried to disconnect the light switch and connect the timer using only the wires that were on the light switch. The first timer took over 45 minutes to figure out and install. The second took less than 8 minutes.
06-29-10 Update: As of yesterday, the LCD display on one of my timers is going out. The blue backlit is fine and you can still see "ON & OFF" as well as "am & pm" but the time is impossible to read. I emailed Swylite to see what they will do for me since it has only been 2 1/2 months since my purchase. Another review says that they sent him a new one. I hope their customer service is still that good because it is disappointing when a good product is marred by bad customer service. Aside from the display issue, these timers are wonderful. We had our house warming party recently and everyone was asked about the timers. Anyway, I will update again, hopefully with good news.
07-13-10 Update: Last night I installed two new timers that Swylite sent to me. Shortly after the LCD went out on the first timer, the second had the same problem. I emailed the company, they asked me to email them my info, then two new timers arrived at my door. I installed the new timers and put the old ones in the box to mail back with the prepaid postage they sent. I could go on and on but I'll keep it short. In an age where customer service has become laughable for most companies, Swylite is doing it right. They are an American company selling an American-made product. Keep up the great work!
