Around this time every year we tend to get a few calls from clients saying their outdoor lighting timer needs to be programmed. Fortunately, the solution is often as a minor adjustment. While our team is always happy to schedule a service call when needed, we want to help you troubleshoot the basics first. That’s why we asked Matt Wooldridge, owner of Santa’s Elves, to demonstrate how to program the three types of timers our crews commonly use at homes and businesses throughout St. Louis.
1. How to program your photocell timer
Photocell timers use natural light to help control when your Christmas lights turn on, and Matt demonstrates how to adjust the settings to keep your display running on schedule.
2. How to program your outdoor digital timer
For homeowners using a more basic outdoor digital timer, Matt demonstrates how to set the controls and schedule your Christmas lights to turn on and off automatically.
2. How to program your multi-outlet digital timer
If your holiday lighting display uses a programmable multi-outlet digital timer, Matt walks you through the setup process so you can manage your lighting schedule with confidence.
