This review is from: Leviton LTB60-1LZ Decora 1800W Incandescent/20A Resistive-Inductive 1HP Preset 10-20-30-60 Minute Countdown Timer Switch,White/Ivory/Light Almond (Tools & Home Improvement)

The best home automation upgrade you can make is to install these on your bathroom fans. The timer never forgets to turn off the fan. The real energy savings is that you do not needlessly blow a bunch of heated or cooled air out of your house.

After 11 years, the buttons on my most heavily used unit started to fall off. This is because each button is held on by four extremely thin and brittle fingers. I'm a bit miffed that I have to replace the entire unit just for this. Leviton has yet to correct this weakness in the design.

Here are my recommendations for these units:

* In new construction, install deep junction boxes everywhere so that if you decide to install bulky controls like this timer, they'll fit

* Install only units that can handle "inductive load", like the LTB models. This means they can control motors and fluorescent lighting. Lighting options are changing these days, so don't limit yourself to "incandescent only".

* Install 30 minute LTB30-1LZ or 15 minute LTB15-1LZ timers for half bathrooms. That's plenty of time to evacuate a small room of noxious odors.

* Install 60 minute LTB60-1LZ timers for full baths. The extra time is needed to clear out all the moisture, and you can always choose less time.

* In the garage I use a 2 hour LTB02-1LZ timer for the lights over the cars and laundry

* For the lights over my workbench where I am engaged for longer periods of time, I use a 12 hour LTB12-1LZ timer

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for bathroom fans, January 4, 2010

This review is from: Leviton LTB30-1LZ Decora 1800W Incandescent/20A Resistive-Inductive 1HP Preset 5-10-15-30 Minute Countdown Timer Switch, White/Ivory/Light Almond (Tools & Home Improvement)

I love these switches for my bathroom vent fans and heater fans so I don't forget to switch them off. I like the way they look, and they are extremely simple to use.

This is a replacement for the older model 6230. The differences are:
- The LED's are green (6230 was red).
- 3 different color button covers are included.
- Neutral connection is mandatory (the 6230 didn't need the neutral for low current applications, this one does)
- Support for 3-way operation.
- Smaller heatsink, no need to break off tabs for side-by-side switches.

These switches are very deep - if you are installing a new box, get the deep kind like this one so you'll have plenty of space for the wiring:

This review is from: Leviton LTB60-1LZ Decora 1800W Incandescent/20A Resistive-Inductive 1HP Preset 10-20-30-60 Minute Countdown Timer Switch,White/Ivory/Light Almond (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have this installed to control the exhaust fan in my bathroom ... I think that everyone ought to have two things in their bathroom: A /real/ fan that can actually move air (not a cheap noisy fan) and one of these timers.

I have a Panasonic fan which is able to remove all the moisture (and smells) very quickly, but sometimes you really wish you could leave that fan going an extra 10-20 minutes, with this switch you can!

It includes white, ivory and almond color face places. It has a soft click when it activates and a subtle (but visible) LED to indicate what position has been selected (including OFF).

Installation was straight forward, it includes 5 wires:
GREEN - Ground
WHITE - Neutral (you must have neutral available in your switch box!!)
BLACK - Supplies power for switch electronics + your switched device
RED - Output to the switched device
YELLOW - Traveler for 3-way switch installation

The wires were heavy duty (12AWG stranded) so it can be used to switch a 20A load. Make sure that your switch box has a neutral! If it does not, you cannot use this switch... and if you don't understand what that means, you shouldn't be installing this switch :)
