Lutron Maestro Countdown Timer Switch for Fans and Lights MA-T51MN-WH – 150W LED, 3A, Single-Pole/Multi-Location

Smart, Subtle Energy Control for Everyday Spaces

The Lutron Maestro countdown timer switch offers a clean, modern way to manage lighting and ventilation in areas that see light use but benefit from mindful control. Instead of leaving lights or exhaust fans running unintentionally, you can set a precise countdown that adapts to your routines in closets, attics, basements, hallways, and bathrooms. Its unobtrusive design pairs with a contemporary wallplate to deliver a tidy, cohesive look anywhere it’s installed.

Designed with a large tap switch and an intuitive side rocker for time settings, this switch blends physical simplicity with smart timing. When you need it, a single tap starts the countdown; a quick double-tap keeps the circuit always on. The timer’s time-out option is adjustable from 5 to 60 minutes, with clear, softly lit LEDs that glow to show the remaining minutes. A one-minute warning before turn-off helps you wrap up activities without surprises.
