The yard stake with built in timer turns outdoor lights on and off at set times. The photoelectric eye senses the absence of daylight and automatically turns your lights on and then off after a set amount of hours, or off at dawn according to the schedule you manually set. The light sensor timer has 7 options that repeat daily, on at dusk off at dawn, on at dusk and off after 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours, always on, or always off.

This four-season timer has a durable construction, with a dial shielded by a weatherproof cover and the 6-grounded outlets have safety covers. The power stake and 6-foot cord comes in forest green which blends beautifully into any garden and outdoor landscape.
