Leviton Introduces New Decora Countdown Timer Switches

    Leviton has announced the launch of its new Decora Countdown Timer Switches.

    The line includes eleven models in total, including 15A models with the company’s new Green Flex Sleeve for easy wiring to ground or neutral wires and 20A models with higher load ratings that can be used in single pole, multi-way, or multi-timer applications.

    “Our new Decora Countdown Timer Switches add convenience and security to homes and small commercial environments by providing reliable timed control of lighting and motor loads,” Leviton’s product manager for lighting controls, Tom Babich, explained. “This new line of timer solutions offers an easy upgrade to traditional switches and provides an ideal way to help manage energy costs.”

    The new 15A models include Leviton’s innovative Green Flex Sleeve Wire, which allows you to connect to ground in homes without a neutral wire or to remove the green sleeve and connect to a neutral wire if one is available. Furthermore, the line and load wires are interchangeable to help reduce miswiring during installation, making these devices ideal for do-it-yourselfers. The 15A models are available in six time settings: 15-, 30-, and 60-minute increments, as well as 2-, 4-, and 12-hour increments.

    Leviton’s new 20A countdown timer models support larger loads and are the only countdown timers on the market that can be used for 3-way and multi-way applications, as well as applications that require multiple timers, with two 20A timers controlling the same load. These models are available in five different time settings: 30-, 60-, 2-, 4-, and 12-hour. For installation, a neutral wire is required.

    For easier installation, both the 15A and 20A models have a shallow depth of less than one inch, an intuitive user interface with large, labeled buttons, and a separate off switch. They are suitable for and compatible with LED, CFL, Incandescent, Halogen, Magnetic Low Voltage, Fluorescent, and Motor loads.

    Decora Countdown Timer Switches are ideal for porch and landscape lighting, interior lights, bathroom exhaust fans, heat lamps, pool pumps, hot tubs, saunas, attic fans, small closets, garages, and basements, among other applications.

    The Leviton Decora Countdown Timer Switches are compatible with Decora and Decora PlusTM screwless wallplates and work with the Leviton Decora line of devices. To complement any décor, additional faceplate colors are available in white, ivory, light almond, gray, black, and brown without having to replace the device. Decora Countdown Timer Switches come with a 5-year limited warranty.
