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.

We have three bathrooms in our house. Each bathroom has the ceiling light/fan/heater combo. Over the almost 30 years we have been in the house I have replaced the fdan and heater timer switches. For some reason they don't seen to last, until now. These timer switched appear to be holding up. They are very user friendly. I am please with them. I think I made the correct purchase.

Very pleased with the quality, installation and looks. It is whiter than my "white" switches, but still looks good.

Needed some of these for ventilation fans. These worked like described. Easy to install with a little electrician knowledge or just a YouTube video.

This digital in-wall countdown time switch did everything I was expecting. My application required the control of some small low voltage 120VAC plug in power supplies and an A/V Receiver which standard countdown timers and motion control switches without a neutral connection will not work for.The Non-Neutral versions depend on a trickle of 120Vac current going through the connected device in order to power its internal digital timer circuitry. If the load connected to the switch does not have a low enough resistance in order to conduct enough current when turned off to drive the circuity, then the timer will not function.i.e.: If you connected say a 10 watt incidence light bulb as the output load, the high resistance of that small load would not pass the "off state" circuit current to power the internal timer. If replaced with a 60 Watt bulb, it would work. That is also true of newer small plug-in power supplies (cellphone chargers), some bathroom fan motors and especially most electronic products such as TVs and A/V Receivers and amplifiers.Also, that small trickle of current required to power the timer circuity when the load is turned off can cause havoc with many electronic devices like those mentioned above.Since this timer unit has a separate neutral wire connection, it does not rely on the "trickle thru" current by way of the load device to power the internal timer circuity.And most important to me, is that it had an internal relay to switch the current instead of a Solid State Triac transistor for switching the AC. This affords this product to switch the full 15 amp current rating of the device without the danger of overloading a Triac circuit which historically fail easily with power surges, lightning and many other poor power situations.The relay contact closure also will not induce any voltage drop as the Triac switching circuitry will.However, the advantage to the Non-Relay Triac version is that since it does not require a neutral wire to operate most device loads, it can be used to directly replace a standard light switch in where no neutral wire is present in the light switch box.So be careful when ordering. This timer unit is sold in two versions; one without a neutral connection and one with a neutral connection. Make sure to order the neutral version if your installation location has a neutral wire present in the box your installing it into.I felt compelled to write this review in order to explain the difference and save everyone who reads this a lot of time and expense. This is the kind of knowledge that is usually only learned via years of experience and not from anything the manufacture prints in their instructions.Knowing all this from years of personal and professional experience, this is the first time that I have seen a product advertised as "Requires a Neutral Wire Connection". I has that feature and with the added internal relay, it did exactly what I needed to have done. I used it to automatically turn off an A/V Receiver/Amplifier for my backyard speakers so that I would not come inside after dark and leave the outside speakers on to disturb my neighbors.It worked great. I purchased the "two pack" and paired the other unit with a Duplex outlet to make a countdown timer control circuit for my electronic device chargers. Often times, some devices will not turn off the charging circuit and overcharge/heat the batteries. By using this application of the timer switch I can set it for an amount of charging time that will be safe for that device.I highly recommend this product for anyone who requires the unique and special features it provides.I hope you have found this helpful.

No problems, easy install. Requires a neutral wire.

Solid product, if not perfect. Great value for money, cheaper than over kill smart phone controlled headaches. Excellent for outside lights were you want on for up to 12 hours.

A perfect addition for any bathroom. This switch was easy to install and has numerous time allotments for all your bathroom needs. Whether it's 5 mins for a quick refresh or 4 hours for those longer stays, It does a great job.

Easy to install , works great. Saves meetinstrument of having dan on all day.

Really good value for a 2 pack. I installed two of these in my bathrooms in a two switch electrical box. I also have two Eaton timers in other bathrooms too.In our first bathroom installation was very easy. The included manual, especially the diagram was useful. Keep in mind you need a neutral wire. Peek behind your current switches to see if you have a neutral. These timers are quite thick, thicker than the Eaton ones that we have. They will fit in a double switch electrical box, you just need to manage your wires.In the second bathroom I have to get creative. The fan was wired as a 3 way setup (stupid builder). I had to bypass the unused switch on the circuit. This timer will not work on a 3 way setup (as far as I know).I’ve tested them a few times and the timers work and turn off our bathroom fans.The packaging left a bit to be desired. Cheap cardboard box and thin bubble wrap inside. Both switches had a bit of scuff marks. They are white so not really noticeable. I expected better. I don’t like scuff marks on a product that is supposed to be brand new.Will try their 7 day timer switch next.

Product works great. I used them to replace my bathroom fan switches, and my christmas light switch. Easy to hook up and BAM no more fans left on or Christmas lights!

You do need quite a bit of space in your box to install this as it's quite thick. Works as intended. Not as classy as some other styles but cheaper than Lutron/Leviton. Easy to use.
