## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use with a 20 Watt outside LED Floodlight ??**
A: Seems to work with 2x 5.5 Watts BR10 LED Candelabra bulbs in an outdoor fixture

**Q: it says it has 2 wire install capability - my wall switch only has two wires - will it work ?**
A: Yes. Check out the single-pole installation in the manual: https://customer.honeywell.com/resources/techlit/TechLitDocuments/69-0000s/69-2458EFS.pdf

**Q: Is a neutral wire required? Can it work on a switch that has to be 3 way?**
A: The switch is manufactured to work in both a 2-way and 3-way circuit. In 3-way it requires a common wire (generally the black wire) between the two switches and the light involved in the circuit. User should have a black, red and white wire to work with when wiring this switch in a 3-way application.

**Q: Maybe a stupid question, but to manually turn the light on/off do you have to lift up the flap or do do you just press it like a regular light switch?**
A: For manual operation you push the flap that you lift to program...there are 4 little pressure switches (one in each corner) behind the flap.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great so far!
*by P***N on March 19, 2013*

Originally I purchased the Honeywell Econoswitch RPLS740B 7-Day Solar Time Table Programmable Switch for Lights and Motors, pretty much the same model but the difference is that model is for sockets that have a neutral line. My personal application has two blacks and a bare (one black for hot, one black to the fixtures, and the bare is ground). I hooked up that original one with the neutral to the ground, but heard different things about whether that was safe or not. So, to be safe, I did it correct and ordered this model (530A), for use on areas that don't have a neutral line (typically white wire).The installation is simple if you're careful, and take your time. The only confusing part was the lack of color-coding on the wires for this model, and that this model can also work in a 3-way setting (did not do). For my setting, first you turn of the circuit (always be safe!), disconnect from the previous switch, then you connect the two end wires to the "hot" wire from your house (I had to turn on the circuit and use a multimeter to find which was hot, then turn back off the circuit). Use the little screw caps and screw them together, then you take the middle wire and connect it to the other wire (black in my case) that leads to the fixture, twist them together with the screw cap. Screw the fixture to the wall, turn on the circuit, then adjust the settings. Simple!If that sound complicated, then you should hire an electrician, I don't want someone permenantly hurting or killing themselves to save a few bucks! However, the installation was not difficult, but the wires in your electrical box can vary in colors/settings, so make sure you know what you have before ordering. The only reason I say this was difficult was the other switch had black/blue/white wires, this has all black, and it makes the diagram a little more confusing (but the wires have numbers underneath on this switch). Still, if you label things properly it should go nice and smooth.Setting the device was also rather easy; someone mentioned this was difficult, but quite frankly I think it's about as easy as setting any alarm clock, since there are dedicated hour/min/prog/day buttons, makes it easy to adjust. So far it works great! I have it controlling our exterior lights, that way I don't have to worry about whether we turn on or turn off the lights (which can be a sure signal to criminals when you are and aren't home). The timer switch also functions like a normal toggle switch if you want to manually control the lights, just push on the "cover" button (the part underneat the display) for on/off. All in all so long as this lasts I couldn't be happier!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for those without a neutral wire
*by S***N on December 24, 2024*

I originally wanted something Alexa compatible but nothing was available and/or was too expensive given my situation. That being I have no neutral wire to the two outdoor lights I wanted to have then off/on on their own.That being said, if you can get over the Alexa part, this is your best bet. These work great and install was easy enough. As for the wiring, I highly recommend reading the top review. He broke it down quite well and simple.Programming is simple enough. But I do have one complaint. From what I can tell you can’t switch between different programs…. What I mean is that I currently have 2 programs set up. When I go into AUTO mode it just defaults to program 2. I have no idea to switch it to program 1. Or if you can I have yet to find it in the manual. I really just wanted to not have to change it with daylight savings when sunset changes. That’s my only complaint.Great product so far.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Major Life Improvement
*by P***Y on December 28, 2013*

I bought three of these timers to control the outside lights at my home that are controlled by separate switches. The only complaint I have is that I should have bought these sooner. I was constantly forgetting to turn them off wasting electricity, or not using them all because it was too much of a pain to turn them all on and off each day/night. Now my home is lit every night when I or my wife get home from work and they turn off in the morning. The price was well worth it for the peace of mind alone, let alone the convenience.The timers themselves work really well and I am really happy with the provided functionality and ease of use. I installed these myself, and it honestly only took about 15 minutes per light switch. I am a pretty handy guy, and have some electrical knowledge, but I think most people could probably install these themselves. Always be careful when working with electricity and turn off the breaker.Reviews here were very helpful as well in regards to install. These times do not require a neutral wire which is why I decided on this particular model. The wiring for the switches I was replacing did not have a neutral in the circuit - I recommend checking your existing wiring before purchasing - there is another model made by Honeywell that uses a neutral (aka common) that will work if you have that setup. The timers use parasitic power to power themselves so there are no batteries to replace which was a must for me. Make sure to read the instructions thoroughly. It is noted that when changing a light bulb controlled by these timers that you switch the timer to the off position (open the flap and slide little switch to off) to avoid damage to the timer.I have flipped the breakers multiple times since install and all three timers kept their programs so I am confident that they will do fine in a power outage as well.Programming was really simple and this timer has many options for flexible lighting schedules. I highly recommend these timers and plan to purchase another one to control lights at the end of my driveway as well.If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to help.
