Customers Say
The timers are generally well-received for their functionality and value, but many users find them complicated to set up due to small instructions and some reliability issues with individual units.

Simple to use
Relatively easy to use and accurate too. Multiple options in settings, but I find that the simple set up is perfectly fine.

Electronic 7day timers.
I am still trying to work out how to set the time of the clock before setting the timer’s for on/off. Does come with instructions but they are very small printed. Have been told to get better instructions online. Timers are also to be charged for 14hours before use.

Bri H, 65 or over, Nottingham
Great price & works as they should
It was initially a bit complicated to set up but once I got the hang of it, it was no problem at all. I use the plug timers to control when my lights turn on and off. Works a treat, and it's a great price, too!

Hello There.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for Triple Pack 7-Day Electronic Timers.
That warning is a legacy note from the time when “energy-saving bulbs” meant Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs). CFLs require a high-voltage start-up pulse to energize the gas inside the tube. This surge can feed back into the timer’s electronics and damage it.
Modern LED energy-saving bulbs do not have this start-up pulse. They draw a steady, low current and are generally safe for use with electronic timers. In fact, LEDs have proven to be a much more reliable load for these devices.
You can use the timer with your lamp if you switch to LED bulbs instead of CFLs. This will give you the same energy-saving benefits without risking damage to the timer.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hi brightlight, thank you for your enquiry.
The Random function operates between 6pm and 6am, randomly choosing a duration between 1 and 30 minutes then a function from either on or off, at the end of the duration it does this again and continues to do this until 6am, so potentially it can switch between zero times (if it always chooses off) and 720 times (if it changes state ever time and only selects 1 minute for each duration).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Perri, thank you for your enquiry.
There are 10 available timer slots in these timers, so you could do this ever hour for nearly half a day but _not_ 24 times in a day.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Rick, thank you for your enquiry.
The reference to 7 days is only that this is the repeat period, rather than every 24 hours, the timer will actually continue to perform the programmed on and off events for as many weeks as it is plugged in and in Auto mode.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Crina, thank you for your enquiry.
The TES7 (our code for this timer) has a maximum switching capacity of:-
10A (2,400W / 2.4kW) of resistive load or
1A (240W / 0.24kW) or inductive load
If your Challenge Oil filled radiators fall below these maximums then the are suitable for use in conjunction with the TES7.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Rob D,
Thank you for your enquiry.
The timer is not designed for use with CFL lamps. However, it is suitable for LED bulbs, and we have not received any reports of issues when used in this manner.
Hello there. The Triple Pack 7-Day Electronic Timers will only use seconds in countdown mode according the instructions from the below document.

Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Simon, thank you for your enquiry.
No, the instructions specifically forbid this because CFLs, much like Fluorescent strips, require a startup power much higher than their normal running consumption, and this can cause over-power feedback into the timer electronics and hence potential component failures.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Simon
No, the manufacturer has stated that the Triple Pack 7-Day Electronic Timers are not suitable for use with compact fluorescent bulbs and will quickly cease to work if used with them.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Jaydee,
The Triple Pack 7-Day Electronic Timers have a random mode that allows them to operate and turn ON/OFF for 10-31 minutes between 6.00 pm and 6.00 am.
Thank you for using Q&A

If this link doesnt work then a working link with full instructions are under the question - Has this got a plus 1 hour button, so rather than a specific timed you can have for 1hr
I believe you will find the instructions right below the About This Product section. The line View Document PDF is a link to the instructions. Hope this helps.
Note that the link provided by the other commenter is to a manual for a completely different set of timer sockets. They have 8 buttons. These only have 6. I didnt get a manual with mine either, and these things could not possibly be less clear on how to set the on and off times.
Hi Mary71066
