Overview

The Kichler 15557BK Outdoor Mechanical Timer combines dependable control with a clean, low-profile design. Housed in a durable black enclosure, this plug-in timer uses a traditional pin-setting dial to automate two on and two off cycles within a 24 hour period. The result is hands-off scheduling for pathways, accents, and entry lighting, all inside an outdoor transformer enclosure for added protection.
