Get Convenience and Efficiency with Landscape Timers and Control Devices
It shouldn’t be difficult to control your outdoor lighting setup, and a lighting control timer, as well as other devices, are key to ensuring your system is working as intended. To this day, traditional mechanical timers are still a viable option for keeping your system on a schedule. However, modern innovations provide even more convenient options, such as Wi-Fi modules, which allow you to use your smart devices to control your entire lighting system.
Another option for “controlling” your outdoor lights is with photocells, which detect surrounding light levels in order to trigger your system. This comes in handy throughout the year when the amount of daylight hours changes in the fall and winter seasons.
For larger spaces, you can also get “sector controllers.” These help you create specific lighting zones, which is useful for spaces where you always want the lights on while the rest of the space is in darkness. Most controllers are compatible with smart devices, giving you even more flexibility with their control.

FAQs on Landscape Lighting Timers and Controls
What is the main benefit of landscape lighting timers?
Simply put, landscape lighting timers can help save you money. Setting up a schedule so that your outdoor lights are not on during the daytime can reduce your utility costs in the long run. Even with energy-efficient lighting options, setting a schedule also lengthens your bulbs’ lifespan, meaning you spend less time changing bulbs and enjoying your outdoor scenes for even longer.
How do I set my landscape lighting timers?
Most traditional timers use clips or tabs. With the clips, you put one on the time when you want the lights on and the other clip on when they should turn off. For tabs, you’ll need to push or pull the tabs to adjust the length of time when the lights stay on. For smart times, all you need to do is set the times when the lights turn on and off through apps.
What’s the difference between a timer and a photocell?
Unlike timers, photocells activate based on the surrounding ambient light, which can be useful throughout the year when the amount of sunlight changes. Timers will stick to your settings regardless of the ambient lighting. If you’re looking for even more savings, photocells might be a better option.
Should I go with a smart or mechanical lighting timer?
The choice will depend on whether or not your current lighting setup already supports smart timers. Not all bulbs will have the feature out of the box, so it’s best to find ones that can work with specific apps. On the other hand, mechanical timers are a staple because they can work with new or existing systems with ease.
When should I use zone lighting?
You can use zone lighting in a variety of ways, but the main purpose is to keep certain areas lit throughout the night, like paths or stairwells, to avoid tripping hazards. You also don’t need to have a large backyard area to have zone lighting. Outdoor spaces of all sizes can use zone lighting to different advantages.
Can any outdoor light be used with a dimmer?
Not all of your lights will work with a dimmer. You’ll need to make sure that it has dimming capabilities before purchase. Using a dimmer switch on non-dimming bulbs will cause issues, break the bulb, and cause other problems within your lighting system. Consult a lighting professional for any additional questions before you make these changes.
