The timer works very well. I had an Intermatic before, but it didn't work with CFL bulbs. This worked perfectly. Make SURE you have a three wire box, and yes you need the third wire (it isn't just a ground wire)! The only complaint I have is that it doesn't have a setback option. On my old Intermatic, if you didn't want your lights to kick on at dusk, you could set back the time by any amount you wanted. So, if it gets dark 20 minutes after sundown, you could make the timer delay 20 minutes before turning on. This is not an option with the Aube. It goes of EXACTLY at sundown (although I understand a new version is now out which does have a setback feature - figures it would come out right after I bought the old one). However, you can fool it into delaying by picking coordinates that are further west than your actual location. Just note, if you go too far west and cross into a different time zone, the timer will adjust to the new time zone and set your timer off earlier instead of later. You can, of course, correct for this by using the one-hour offset feature (see the manual - for cities that don't follow daylight savings times), but it's starting to get complicated! The easier solution is to just set the timer's clock at the wrong time, so that the delay you want is the number of minutes by which you want the clock to be off. But then your clock will always be off and, personally, I don't like that even if I never look at it. Wouldn't it have just been easier to include a setback feature? :)Get more detail about Aube by Honeywell TI035/U Solar Programmable Timer Switch, White.
