Product Description
The LST100 provides quiet, accurate electronic timing for control of lighting and motor loads within the home, and can reduce energy costs significantly. Just set the timer and go, you will never leave the lights on again. The LST100 can also serve as an anti-theft deterrent by giving a home a lived in look while homeowners are at work, school or away on vacation by turning lights ON and OFF at preset or variable intervals. The timer is designed to provide cost-effective lighting and appliance control anywhere inside or outside the home and installs easily in single or multiple-gang wall boxes.
The LST100 is 100% state-of-the-art, has no motors or gears to hear or break, never need batteries (no hidden costs), has Set & Forget memory, is easy to install and can be programmed in less than 5 minutes. It also has an automatic Variable Mode to discourage intruders and incorporate internal self-protecting surge voltage protection against most power spikes, outages and lightning strikes.
The LST100 also has a unique Delayed-OFF feature that can keep the light or fan ON while exiting the house or room and automatically turns the light or fan OFF without any user-programming or automatic timer setting interference. There is no need for any additional programmed ON/OFF cycle to turn the light OFF, it's automatic.
The LST100 control loads from 1 - 625 watts and will control most low watt CFL & LED bulbs effortlessly.

Excellent Wall Switch Timer - Still (even after 5 years),
By just mo in (LA, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swylite LST100 Digital In-Wall Timer Switch with Wall Plate - White (Kitchen)
I installed this timer switch 6 months ago and it has worked without any problems. With this switch, I automatically control two compact flourescent bulbs for outdoor night lighting of my patio. This Swylite wall switch timer is far superior to the Intermatic Digital wall switch timer (model SS7C) which I previously used. The Intermatic switch uses a AAA battery to operate a solenoid switch that eventually sticks in the "on" position with no way of turning off except removing from the wall. (Side note - not sure why some reviewers do not mention competing companies like I just did. This would help us consumers more quickly identify good products and bad products. Please let us know all the company names of similar products tried if you review - thanks! :^) Pros * Simple single event programming (allows 1 "on" time and 1 "off" time for daily operation) * Easy to read LCD panel * Big, easy to use manual override switch * No battery needed for operation or program memory * Program memory is not lost during power outage Cons * Simple single event programming (does not allow for multiple on/off times each day or different on/off times for unique weekend operation) * Wiring exits from side of unit instead of back of unit for somewhat tougher installations when space in electrical box is an issue. UPDATE 11/7/2011 This timer switch is still working just fine after more than 5 yrs of use. I had actually installed two of these timer switches back in May 2006 and both are indeed working (one for the back patio and one for the front porch). I've been very satisfied with these timers and even the original CFL bulbs are still working with these switches! The only thing I would like to see improved is for these timers to have an feature that would automatically adjust as the days get longer or shorter, not to mention Daylight Savings changes like the one we just had this past weekend. I have seen other companies with wall switch timers that do automatically adjust as the length of daylight changes over time. However, the cost would probably go up and the reliability might decrease; but I don't know. Just so you know, I'm still very much against buying any Intermatic timer switch. That bad experience back then still lingers. Now for the corny line: "Swylite, you're alright!" :^)

Mixed Results,
By
This review is from: Swylite LST100 Digital In-Wall Timer Switch with Wall Plate - White (Kitchen)
I had mixed results and can only recommend to proceed with informed caution. There are unique positives to be considered as well.
First, the unit has a 7W minimum load, which is quite low compared to some competing brands that require a 40W minimum load. So if you have compact flourescents, this is one of a few that will work on such a small load. Others don't actualy cut off all the power and rely on the "load" to supply the resistence. My lights flickered even when off with competing brands. A single compact flourescent worked fine on this time with the tiny minimum load. However, I recommend that if you have any problems, throw a 40W incandescent bulb in and see if the problem goes away. Second, the wires stick out the the right-side, which can be very difficult to work with compared to competing brands that stick out the back. If you have a tight box, planning on placing it on the right-side, or if you have other bulky switches (like other timers or dimmers) to the right of this, you might have signficiant trouble. If you have to force it, that could cause it to malfunction. I really wish the wires came out the back. Third, Swylite's customer service is oustanding, responsive, and helpful if you have any technical problems. Unfortunately I did have trouble with two units I had purchased. At the first sign of faulty behavior on one of the two units (just a few days after installation) I had contacted Swylite through email. They promptly replied as we exchanged a few emails and quickly offered to sent out a replacement at no cost. Eventually the specific unit quicky deteriorated and significantly misbehaved, but since they did quickly replace that, let's consider that nicely resolved. The replacement unit is functioning perfectly for about two weeks now. I said I purchased two units. Both failed to operate every now and then (every other week or so) and would start working again if you flipped the timer off and on once. I bet Swylite would replace the other if I asked, but instead bought a competing brand's timer that I am trying out for now. Final thoughs: So again, the one replaced Swylite timer that I am still using has been functioning great. The company certainly backed it up promptly when I had a problem. My other timer from a competitor is absolutely outstanding, but it uses batteries for backup (provided) and has a 40W minimum load.

Great product, but note minimum bulb wattage,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Swylite LST100 Digital In-Wall Timer Switch with Wall Plate - White (Kitchen)
I installed this timer switch in a single pole and 3-way installation and it worked great. Sure, the switch has a big profile, but it should fit into any normal junction box.
The compact fluorescent (CFL) bulb makes a difference. I originally had problems when using a compact fluorescent bulb from Ikea. The minimum wattage is 7W, and my Ikea bulb was 11W. It was very erratic. Sometimes it wouldn't turn on automatically. When switched to a 10W GE bulb, it has worked perfectly. CFL bulbs may be higher than the minimum required, but the wattage varies during start-up, that brief moment they are powering up. If you have problems switch to incandescent to prove that it is not a switch problem.
