Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Product - CFC issues expected
I have had this product for several years and I too have experienced problems with using it with CFC. At first it was a bit concerning when the CFC would flash when the switch was off. I also found that if at least one of the lights in the circuit was not CFC then everything was okay. I thought about it for a minute and realized that the issue depended upon which way power was provided to the lights. If the power was through the switch, then you would not see any issues with using just ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Only for incandescents
Have had this unit for two years with 15 watt porch light no problem whatsover, Will not work with cfl. Never have to reset. i LOVE THE AUTOMATIC SEASON FEATURE.
Cons: difficult to program. Instructions puzzling. NO CFL ALLOWED



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works great
For years I had a Intermatic SS5 controlling a 4 light/fan kitchen fixture. It would work with 2 incandescents + 2 CF bulbs but no more than 2 CFs. I decided to remove it and replace it with a regular light switch (so I could use 4 CFs) and install an Intermatic EJ500 wall timer to control a single 65W incandescent bulb over our kitchen sink. The installation was easy (you do need a "decora" wall plate) and the programming went well except that you need a magnifying lens to see the buttons and ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Easy Installation, Poor Operation
Pros:
Installation was very easy and it looks great as a flush-mount. Turns on as according to the program

Cons:
The lights do not turn off according to the program. I woke up on several mornings to see that my patio lights were still on despite the program telling it to turn off at 2:00am. I've gone through the entire manual, reset the device and reprogrammed but nothing. Now it's on the wall but I keep the program off. Didn't work out very well for me at all.




Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - It simply doesn't work
Way overcomplicated which one could deal with but the difficult-to-set Astro setting supposed to calculate sunup and sunset simply doesn't work.
