I use both Hager and Maxguard relay timer. Maxguard is a Malaysian brand and is cheaper than imported brand Hager. Both have same functions with built in battery and both are as good but of course Hager is much more better looking/design on appearance. If out look is necessity, then pay more for Hager.

For single porch light, don't use timer. Use light sensor instead. Can easily DIY instal. If use timer, you need to pay $$ to wireman to fix for you.
you can buy Selcon photo sensor about RM25 per unit.

okie so there are two options,

actually im planning to DIY the hager and power cables myself so it doesn't matter to me.. due to the way i implement the lighting..

i can't use photo sensor.. eg back light that comes on at midnight

cause between evening to midnight , there is the kitchen light bathroom lights that provided some/little illumination..

so back to the question, where to get in PJ area.. ??

It is not easy to wired up the timer but if you have some basic wiring knowledge, then should be no problem.
My front porch also have bright street light but the Selcon worked as intended. If the external light disturb the photo cell, just adjust the angle or block it.
Any electrical shop in PJ selling it.

Hi all
Would like to ask, if I install a Hager timer (be it electromechanical or full digital), can I install a by-pass switch (aka normal light switch) for the timer? I want to be able to by-pass the timer, and switch on/off my lights as I wish, since I plan to install a timer for my car porch. Sometimes I do wash my car past certain hours, or wee hours in the morning, which requires me to bypass the timer without fumbling with the timer controls.
Would appreciate some guidance from electrical experts here.
Thanks!

There is a manual override switch on the timer itself.

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.

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

Those who wants to operate two electrical appliances one after another at different timing. Especially playing 2 amplifiers alternately in the bird house.
