BN-LINK FD-60/U6 Indoor 7-Day Digital Timer Outlet, 2 Grounded Outlets

Eight programmable on/off schedules let this digital timer run recurring routines for lights and other household devices. Its two grounded outlets operate together, so one schedule can control both connected devices. Random and daylight saving time modes add flexibility for everyday use and time away from home.

Highlights

The BN-LINK FD-60/U6 supports up to eight on/off programs across a seven-day schedule, with settings as short as one minute. Choose individual days or preset day combinations to shape a routine around weekdays, weekends, or a repeated daily cycle. The timer’s two grounded outlets switch on and off at the same time, making it practical for paired lighting or another shared schedule.

For lamps and holiday decorations, Random mode varies programmed light times to make a home appear occupied while you’re away. A dedicated daylight saving time setting makes seasonal clock changes simpler. The built-in backup battery retains settings during a power outage, so programmed schedules don’t have to be entered again after an interruption. The timer is ETL listed and rated at 15A.

It can also be used to schedule power for items such as coffee machines, fans, aquarium equipment, and reptile tank lighting. Buyers often appreciate its range of programming options and straightforward everyday operation. Feedback on setup instructions and long-term reliability is more mixed, while its scheduling functionality and versatility are commonly valued.

Who it’s for

This timer suits households that want lights or compatible appliances to follow a repeatable weekly routine without switching them manually each time. Aquarium and reptile hobbyists can use timed schedules for lighting, while plant growers can set recurring cycles for connected equipment. It also works for seasonal decorating, when the Random mode can add variation to programmed lights.

The two outlets are useful when devices need to follow the same schedule. If you only need to control a single device on one simple cycle, a basic timer may cover that routine, the FD-60/U6 is better suited to users who want multiple weekly programs and added scheduling modes in one plug-in unit.

How to use it

Plug the timer into a grounded outlet, then connect the devices you want it to control. Set the current time with the Clock button and the Hour and Minute controls, checking AM or PM. Use Program to create the on/off schedules, choosing the days or preset day combinations that match your routine. The two connected outlets follow those settings together.

When programming is complete, press Mode until AUTO appears to activate the schedules. Use the daylight saving time setting when clocks change, or select Random mode for varied programmed lighting while away. For example, a household can set a lamp to turn on in the evening and use the same weekly routine for a second light plugged into the other outlet.

Final verdict

The FD-60/U6 is a practical choice for people who need more than a single basic on/off routine. Its seven-day programming, short one-minute setting increments, two jointly controlled grounded outlets, and Random mode support lighting and appliance schedules at home or while away. Choose it when flexible weekly control is the main priority.
