Nope, the shop selling cables, conduit, and major electrical wiring.

One at SS2, the near swensen's ice cream , few more at sea park, near the O&S Restaurant. Or pasar road.

E711 last year price was around 80 to 90.

Just go to pasar road. You never fail to get 1.

hmm. tomolo wiringman come to install lighting and socket dy. Got no time to go KL, busy with house things. was thinking to ask wiring leave the wire and i do it my self on the timer installation or do it next time. samore got bombing in KL lagi scare.

can install daylight sensor SELCON cost only rm25 each

go to those shops that sell electrical wires, switches, etc, etc.
They should have. There are few brands in the market, incl those China made ones

maybe postponed installation. i will do it myself after i bought them. either timer or daylight sensor.

For porch lighting purpose, I personally prefer light sensor, because I only want lights when the surrounding is dark and I don't need a specific timing of wanting the light to be switched on after dark say 11pm.
Further more light sensor is much more cheaper and less maintenance then Hager timer. Why less maintenance ? because once the hager's irreplaceable built-in battery wears out, it will only work as a mechanical timer. Any power cut off will alter the on/off timing.

i was planning to install timer/sensor for porch and backyard.

Do you have the need to control the timing ? if yes then go for timer. if no light sensor is less headache.

well. my initial planning was to make sure it light 7pm until 8am. Not sure how accurate daylight sensor but im sure both of them workable for me. expensive or not expensive also nvrmind coz only will be using for max 2 units of timer.

porch is using downlight and backyard using florescent.

Here's my contribution of personal installation experience. This diagram is for both TIMER UNIT & LIGHT SWITCH to work on "either one" mode. The TIMER UNIT will start to work once the 1 GANG switch is turned OFF, also user can turn ON the light at any time of point using the 1 GANG switch.



Hope it helps everyone

do note, with that wiring, the 1 Gang switch act only as By-Past switch where the load can be turn on anytime by the user. User would have no control once the timer is in "on" position.

You can OFF the timer by open the cover and switch the bypass button.

If you are willing to OFF the timer by open the cover, might as well forget about installing the By-Pass switch.
Just ON/OFF the timer by open the cover whenever you want to do manual switching.

OFF the timer by open the cover is a temporary bypass switch in case you want to --> User would have no control once the timer is in "on" position.

Switch it back once you done.

Thanks for sharing. I roughly got the idea, but isn't it weird if positions 1 and 2 serve no purpose here? or the bypass switch is connected to 1 & 2 instead of 4 maybe?

Yes of course, that would work too u can move the L1 flowing from 4 to 2 also, connecting LIVE to LIVE will not harm the electric flow circuit

I've made such diagram to not to congest port 2 since incoming supply looping to 4 has 2 wires attached, and L1 will make the port looks bulky, therefore I swapped with 4, this will look more neat

I'm particularly interested in the Selcon sensor that a fellow member posted. However, wiring is a bit tricky especially when I want to overide the sensor. You see, usually the sensor will only switch on the lights when it's dark. What if there is a need to switch on the lights even during daytime. Can any member here care to share?

Easy, in this case you need to pull an auxillary 1 gang switching power supply which also connects to the device. This will ease to you use the light at daytime by turning ON the switch.

hi,
going to install a new timer to control the light.
emm.... dun know whr should get the neutral
any body can help?

here the layout:

thanks
