ENERLITES 4-Hour Countdown Timer Switch, 5-10-30-60 Min, 2-4 Hour, for Bathroom Fans, Lights, 120VAC Neutral Wire Required, UL Listed, HET06-W-2PCS, White, 2 Pack

This Enerlites switch is overall a very nice in-wall electronic countdown timer switch, for my purposes pretty clearly the best available. But I do have a few comments and complaints.This switch is available in numerous variations: 1-minute -up-to- 30-minutes, or 5 minutes to 4 hours, or 30 minutes up to 12 hours; white, or ivory; neutral connection required, or neutral not required (albeit with correspondingly slightly lesser functionality). That’s all good. But maybe even more variations available, I’m not sure, and (more importantly) I can’t readily tell. And not all combinations are available either, e.g. it looks like the up-to-12-hour timer is available only in white and with the neutral wire required; but again I can’t really tell for sure. I think it’s a definite mistake on Enerlites’ part that they don’t appear anywhere, even on their own website, to publish any kind of catalog or listing of their available products and variations thereof. I’m comfortable that I got the best, right switch for me, but only because I consulted with Enerlites’ tech. support - which support, it should be noted, is consistently superb, as good as any I’ve seen. But, as always, the best support is that which isn’t needed.And I think it’s also a mistake by Enerlites that they make this timer switch with stranded wire pigtails, instead of screw terminals for the (4) electrical connections. Big-league electrical switches and receptacle outlets and the like nearly all have screw terminal connections, and for plenty good reasons. Enerlites tech support points out that the wire pigtails, supplied along with 4 wire nuts, constitutes a complete-in-the-box solution, requiring no other parts to be supplied by the installer; and that’s generally true as far as it goes - but their complete solution isn’t a particularly good one, it makes for more, messy and bulky wire connections to be squeezed into the electrical box, along with the definitely large body/housing of the switch itself. If they really want a pro-grade solution that also requires no additional parts, they could provide screw terminals plus 4 short lengths of wire.The provided installation and operation instructions for this switch are good and clear and reasonably complete - which is ironic, since it’s obvious from the pervasive falsehoods and mis-statements in the user reviews and answers here that most of these users don’t read the instructions while still feeling free to declaim.And lastly, I think it’s tacky that Enerlites describes this switch’s LED indicator as constituting a night light, “easy to locate in the dark,” since this “night light” is only on while the switch is on, otherwise it’s off - not much of a night light in my view.But what the heck, my Enerlites switch is installed without too much fuss, and looks good, and works beautifully, just about as advertised. And my feelings on the issues described above are largely assuaged by talking with the excellent Enerlites tech support. So I reckon I’ll be nice in return, rate this timer switch 5 stars for now, and see how it goes with time.

I have several of these timer switches installed in my home. Two are used in the bathroom's to control the fans and one is installed in the laundry room to control the plug in the ironing board cabinet.The quality of the switches is excellent. They look, feel and operate like a very solid high quality product constructed with quality materials. The wiring is easy to understand and, assuming you have the skills to install a normal wall switch, you should have no problems whatsoever installing these switches.The only feature that you have to pay attention to is the LED lighting. The blue LED's are VERY bright. These switches are available in two versions, one has the LED's lit continuously and the other only lights the LED's for a few seconds after the switch is activated. Because the ble LED's are VERY bright, this makes a big difference in selecting the best switch for your needs.The version that keeps the LED's lit continuously is best used in areas where people are not sleeping. During the day, the bright LED's are actually a distinct advantage since it is very easy to see what the timer setting is. In interior rooms with no windows, such as the laundry room or main bath, the continuously lit LED's are easy to see. At night, in a main bathroom for example, the LED's also create a very effective night light for anyone using the restroom.However, if the switch can be seen from the bedroom, in a master bathroom for example, the very bright LED's can be a nuisance. For bedroom applications, the HET06 provides a version that only lights the LED's for a few seconds when the switch is first activated. This works perfectly for master bath fan or bedroom ceiling fan applications. I'm not a picky sleeper but I have to admit that I made this mistake and ended up ordering the HET06 (no continuous LED) to change it out. Now it's perfect.I've had some of these switches installed for about a year now in high traffic use and they still work perfectly. Pick the right version for your needs and you will be completely happy with the quality and performance of these timer switches.

I wish it was less, but inflation, sigh. Works well, no issues, it requires a neutral wire, so make sure you have it. Instructions say it will work without one, but you lose the LED function. Didn't try it since I have the neutral, so I can't say. These are very nice to have for your bathroom exhaust fans, set it and walk away. They have up to a 4 hr setting for when you want to use strong cleaners or paint. Had to order 2 of them twice as the first just vanished and was never delivered. Checked back with Amazon (had to call) and they sent me a new one again no prob. Good product, good price, fast delivery (eventually). Happy

It works well and is easy to install with the proper skills and tools. For safety reasons, make sure to turn off the electricity.
