ENERLITES Countdown Timer Switch for bathroom fans and household lights, 1-5-10-15-20-30 Min Settings with Manual Override, Always On Blue LED, Neutral Wire Required, UL Listed, HET06A, White, 2 Pack

I bought three of these to control my bathroom exhaust fans. The price was fair for this type of switch. These are made in China. They are UL listed. There is a two-year warranty. The installation instructions included are easy to understand, especially the wiring diagram. Follow them! Turn off the electricity for the circuit at the breaker. You must have a white neutral wire in the box for this switch to work. In my case (I installed mine in a box with more than one switch), all the white wires were bundled together with a wire nut and shoved to the back of the box. Look for the white wire(s). I had two black wires going to the existing switch: one was for the line (supplying electricity to the switch) and one was for the load (sending electricity to the fan/light when switched on). If not labeled, to determine which is which, you can use a volt-ohm meter. Be careful because you will have to turn the power back on to test this. With the switch off, make contact with a white wire with one VOM probe and with the other probe touch the black wire. Whichever black wire reads voltage, that’s the line wire. The other black wire that reads no voltage with the switch off is the load. Before proceeding, turn off the electricity at the breaker. Now it’s just a simple matter of following the wiring diagram and matching the colors. Use the included wire nuts and securely twist them down on the wires you’re connecting. Operation is almost self-explanatory. The switch has blue LED lights that function as night lights (they can be a bit bright). People leave fans running and walk away. These stop that problem and save on electricity.

Timers are ergonomic with a set-and-forget type of function. I got tired of replacing failed and expensive fan timers and gave these a try and they've worked flawlessly under frequent and heavy load. The added bonus is the two LED lights that act as a night light for those who need to get up in the middle of the night. We are super pleased with these and I'll likely be buying more to change out timers in the other three bathrooms.

Super easy to use, works perfectly. I used to use a timer taken from a uwave oven to automatically power off my soldering iron, but this is so much smaller and neater. Highly recommended!

These installed easily and function just they way you would expect. The Blue indicator light is very bright. I have a toilet room and this is practically a night light, I can see the glow from this across the bedroom. My personal preference would be to have a much more subtle light.

I love these timers and have purchased these several times. They're perfect for bathroom fans, allowing enough time for clear the steam after a shower, but not requiring you to come back and manually turn them off. The max timer, 30 minutes, is more than enough to ventilate our large bathrooms. If you need more time, you can hit the button again and it seemingly will reset the timer. If you have a neutral wire in your switch box, these are easy to install.My last set of 5 had one DOA timer. I had installed the others, so I didn't bother returning it. I didn't dock a star because I've installed 14 of these and this is the only one to have failed.

Works great, pretty easy install. Intuative operation. Used for 2 bathroom fans. The blue LED's are a bit on the bright side. Not an issue for my installs. they work great as nightlights.

Does what it says it does and has accurate times for selections. Has been a good little contraption. A+

Worked great when I first got it, it was just what I needed. I bought it on May 2, it was guaranteed for a month, and on June 5, it won’t work.

aveces funciona y a veces no, pasando el tiempo seleccionado no corta la corriente. Casi me causa un accidente.

Los utilicé para los extractores de baños, usados como timer. Traen piloto que se mantiene encendido siempre.

Great value, easy to install, works as advertised. It can be inconvenient to have to go back to the bathroom to turn off the exhaust fan so this product 100% solves this problem. It is best to have this timer switch than not, especially for landlords with tenants who don't care about their property, as it will encourage them to get rid of the moisture after showers without worrying about unnecessarily paying for electricity. We've installed this whole pack and previous units without any issues. Although we do wish there is an override to keep it on past 30 minutes for the odd time we need it for longer.

I installed these in two bathrooms as the fans could run for hours if no one was around to turn them off manually. Fan exhausts 50cfm X 60 minutes means 3000 cubic feet of warm air jettisoned per hour!The 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 & 30 minute buttons are perfect intervals for showers and for even the worst smells. Installation was tight as the timer casing is deep. I installed alongside the light switch in a deep 2-gang box and all the wiring still had to be tucked over behind the light switch - No room left behind the timer.The blue LEDs provide just enough reflected light at night to see without being intrusive. (Looking directly at them could be a little piercing in the dark).Bonus: The button to start/stop the fan has no printing on it - That means there is nothing to fade or wipe off over time. I used to have a dial fan timer where the numbers wore off after a few years. The timer still worked perfectly, but it looked crappy.

It's simple to put in and will save you hundreds in wasted hydro and climate control costs in both winter and summer. Excellent item. And the blue LED doesn't seem bad at all. It doesn't bother my household in any way.
