BN-LINK Outdoor Light Timer — Dusk Sensor, RF Remote, 2 Grounded Outlets
Product description
What’s included: one outdoor light timer with two grounded outlets and an attached outdoor cord. The unit integrates a built-in photocell for automatic on-at-dusk and off-at-dawn operation, plus a rotary mode dial for manual ON, OFF, dusk-to-dawn, or countdown options.
Countdown and timing: choose from 2, 4, 6, or 8-hour countdown intervals so lights can turn off after a selected duration rather than run all night. This is useful for seasonal displays, pathway lamps, porch decor, and other outdoor lighting that doesn’t need to remain illuminated until morning.
Operation and controls: the front-mounted dial requires no programming, Wi‑Fi, or mobile app. Plug the timer in, attach up to two outdoor-rated devices, select the desired position on the selector knob, and the setting will repeat every day until changed.
Weather resistance and mounting: the housing is made from weatherproof materials intended for outdoor exposure; hang the timer vertically and position it at least 2 feet above ground level to reduce the chance of water ingress during rain or snow. The photocell responds to ambient light to toggle the dusk-to-dawn mode.
Electrical specs and uses: rated for 125V and 15A, ETL Listed, constructed with PPE housing and supplied with a 14AWG SJTW outdoor cord. It’s suitable for pumps, sprinklers, fountains, holiday and landscape lights, and other yard equipment within the rated load.

Pleasantly reliable
Works perfectly for me. I even used one abroad on 240V—just swapped on a local plug adapter and it ran fine.

Good sensor, odd mounting hole
I downgraded my original complaint about the placement of the wall-mount hole. The dusk-to-dawn sensor functions well and the two outlets are handy. The selector knob is clear and the unit seems solid.

Shield the sensor from nearby lights
It didn’t trigger at dusk because porch string lights fooled the sensor. I hung a small black plastic lid in front of the photocell and then it worked perfectly: on at dusk, off at dawn.

Handy and accurate
Set up was plug-and-play. The dusk-to-dawn sensor is accurate and the two grounded outlets let me run two light strings from one timer—very convenient.

Solid unit and responsive support
Item performed well but I mistakenly thought it was defective—turns out my extension cord was the issue. Return and support were easy and accommodating.

Does the job
We use it for a flag spotlight and porch decor. The dual outlets are convenient and the dusk setting senses light even when partially shaded. Occasionally it will turn off for 5–6 seconds and then return, but overall I’m very satisfied.

Surprisingly simple to use
I worried an analog dial would be confusing, but it was the easiest option. After a month running seasonal lights it switches at dusk and honors the timed settings with zero fuss.

Excellent support and fixed my issue
After an initial problem I received prompt help from the manufacturer and a replacement photocell unit. The new sensor works exactly as expected. Great customer service earned this product a five-star update.

My impatience caused confusion — works fine
At first I thought the photocell was faulty because the lights briefly went out, but after watching I saw they come back on within 20–30 seconds. The 4H and 6H timers have been reliable so far. Customer service sent a replacement quickly when I raised the issue, so I returned the unopened original.
