Fosmon C-10733US Outdoor Photocell Timer, Remote, Dual Grounded Outlets, 15A

With two grounded Type B outlets, the Fosmon C-10733US can schedule outdoor lights and other connected devices from a single timer. Would it be easier to manage patio or seasonal lighting without walking out to the outlet? Its photocell offers dusk-to-dawn and timed options, while the included remote works from up to 30 meters away.

Tips for day-to-day use

Choose the schedule that suits the setup: turn connected devices on or off, have them run from dusk to dawn, or switch them on at dusk and off after 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours. The schedule repeats daily, making it useful for regular evening lighting as well as seasonal displays. For example, connect patio lights to come on at dusk and switch off later, or use the remote to control holiday lights from inside the house.

The remote can operate through obstructions such as walls, doors and furniture, so routine changes can be made without going to the timer. Its stated range is up to 30 meters. The two grounded outlets are suited to setups where separate lighting or fixtures need a shared schedule. Before connecting equipment, match its power requirements to the timer’s electrical ratings and use a grounded 110–125V AC supply.

Why it’s worth it

This timer brings automatic scheduling and remote operation together, which is especially handy when lights are mounted outdoors or the outlet is difficult to reach. Compared with a basic plug-in timer controlled at the outlet, the remote gives you another way to switch connected devices without going outside. The photocell also makes dusk-based scheduling practical as daylight changes through the year, while countdown settings let you choose when evening lighting turns off.

The casing is designed for outdoor use, and the timer conforms to the UL 60730-1 safety standard. Buyers often highlight the remote’s convenience and the scheduling options for Christmas, pergola and other outdoor lights. Some buyers also report that their timer stopped working early, so those experiences are mixed, the product’s stated limited lifetime manufacturer warranty is another point to consider.

What to clarify

What schedule options are available? You can choose on, off, dusk to dawn, or dusk activation followed by an automatic shutoff after 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours. The selected schedule repeats daily.

Is it worth it?

For anyone scheduling outdoor lighting or fixtures, the Fosmon C-10733US combines dusk sensing, daily countdown choices and remote access in one dual-outlet timer. It’s a practical fit for patio or seasonal lights when convenient control and an automatic evening routine matter.
