| Leviton Enhances Versatile Line of Decora Timer Switches  Leviton Manufacturing is expanding its line of Decora Timer Switches, making it even more convenient to reduce energy costs and increase security in and around homes, offices, schools, libraries and other light commercial environments. To make the lives of contractors and installers easier, these new versatile models can be used as single pole or 3-way and feature white, ivory and light almond color options all in one box. New enhancements to the line include a 5-button timer that allows users to reprogram time intervals for lights and appliance control and a Vizia + 24-Hour timer, with astronomic clock and any combination of days settings, which offers users increased programming flexibility and to-the-minute accuracy.Both models provide flexibility in controlling lights and appliances in the home and in light commercial environments. For example, homeowners can set lights to turn on and off for a lived-in look while they're away, or automatically control heat-lamps, pool filters, spas/hot tubs, bathroom fans and other motor loads for maximum energy savings and worry-free operation. Additionally, color change kits are available for effortless color changeover preventing the need to remove the device from the wall. Colors coordinate with Decora screwless wallplates. "Whether you need fully programmable or preset timers, our new in-wall Decora timers are easy to use, precise and reliable," said James Sherman, director of residential marketing at Leviton. "No longer will you have to come home to a dark house. You can be assured that your home will look like you're there, even when you're not. No longer will fans or motor loads run longer than necessary. And, the contemporary styling of the timers makes them ideal as a wall switch replacement for virtually any area of the home." Decora 5-Button Timer Switches Ideal for heat lamps, spas/hot tubs, attic and exhaust fans, these devices have four user friendly preset time buttons and an off button. The newly designed timers allow users to simply press and hold the top button to initiate override or press and hold two buttons to reprogram an existing time interval. With a user friendly programming feature that lets users convert to other timer intervals, these switches feature 15-, 30- or 60-minute and 12-hour times, plus a new 2 hour interval option. They also have soothing green LED locator lights. In addition to the three color options available in every box the device is single pole and 3-way capable. Timer change kits are offered separately in a variety of colors. Decora Vizia + 24-Hour Timer Switch For control of indoor and outdoor lighting, this easy-to-program and operate timer allows users to view set event times at a glance via a large back-lit display. Users can intuitively program all days, weekdays, weekends or any combination of days. An astronomical clock automatically adjusts to local sunrise and sunset times, and the user can select an option for automatically adjusting to daylight savings time, so the timer will never need to be reprogrammed. This timer also has an 'any combination of days' feature to enhance the preprogrammed day options. In addition to being single pole and 3-way capable there are three color options available in every box. Color change kits are offered separately. All of the new additions to the Decora timer line meet UL, CSA and FCC requirements, and have a five-year limited warranty. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
