Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sylvania SA170 15 Amp Zip-Set Digital Wall Switch Timer
Customer Review: good product from Amazon
Summary: 4 Stars
This Sylvania switch, does exactly what it's supposed to do---a rarity in today's world. Easy to install; easy to set with good directions; works as advertised. Very pleased!!Customer Review: Just what my CFL needed!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought an outdoor light fixture with a CFL and built-in photocell. Well, it was burning through CFLs prematurely and flickered on and off every night around dusk, so I looked for a better way to control it. This timer switch was the answer. You need a neutral to wire it, but it's a straight-forward job for any do-it-yourselfer. It's not the most attractive thing because it sticks out of the wall about an inch, but this also makes it easier to fit all the wires in the box. Programming the unit is not exactly intuitive (hence the 4 stars instead of 5), but it offers a useful range of features for most any situation -- more so than the Leviton model I was also considering. Most importantly, the CFLs don't burn out after a few months like they used to. Problem solved.Customer Review: Good Product
Summary: 4 Stars
Easy to Install but somewhat confusing to set up. Once set up does a really good job.Customer Review: Why don't they make this anymore?
Summary: 5 Stars
I had one of these prior to purchasing these two. They are really great products if you can get passed the bad instructions for programming. Been 1 day short of 7 months and the second installation (of the 3) died. Batteries are good and the display and manual switch are non-functional after death. Did get replacement from manufacture and all is good.Customer Review: wall sw timer

Works well! You will need the hot(black), return(white) and switched(red) lines to the switch. If you're replacing a switch, make sure there aren't just two wires running to it before you purchase this one. I replaced another timer but had to run a new line. It also uses battery backup which is not advertised.
Otherwise, works as advertised and a bit more shallow than others, providing a little more space behind it in the box.
