Translation: machine translated
With us, you will find the right timer for almost every situation during the festive season - whether it's for Advent lighting or your holiday absence. The switching times can usually be set individually, making the products ideal for switching Christmas lights. We would like to present our recommendations to you in more detail here.
Mechanical time switches
Mechanical timers consume little power (usually less than 1 watt), do not require a battery and are easy to operate. The switching intervals are 15 minutes and can be set intuitively. In the event of a power cut, however, mechanical timers stop and must therefore be reset.
We can recommend the following product due to its ease of use and long service life.

Digital time switches
Digital timers are usually equipped with a display and buttons and can be set more precisely than mechanical timers. Depending on the equipment, any number of complicated on/off intervals can be set - the main advantage is the ability to switch to the second. Other functions such as random, dimming, countdown or power failure protection are very useful depending on the intended use. The power consumption of digital timers is usually between 0.5-6 watts.
The following timer impresses with its many functions and individual setting options, which can be easily programmed. It also offers a good price/performance ratio.

For indoor use
This digital weekly timer, which we recommend especially for indoor use, has an extra-large display so that the days of the week, time and operating mode can be easily read at any time. The device also has a countdown and random function. The socket is equipped with child protection.

For outdoor use
We recommend this product especially for your weatherproof Advent lights outdoors, as the hinged cover of the timer offers protection against moisture. The integrated twilight sensor automatically switches your lights on when it is dark enough and off again when it is bright enough in the morning

For your absence
When you are away on holiday, a timer with a random function can be very useful. With the help of your smartphone and the free app, you can control your devices from anywhere in the world where you have internet access.
