How to choose
Start with the job, not the product
Same hours every day
A 24-hour pin dial is the simplest timer there is: push down a pin for every half hour you want the power on. No screen and no buttons, just pins.
Mechanical timersOn at dusk, all year
A light sensor turns lights on as it gets dark and off after the hours you pick, so the schedule follows the season without you touching it.
Dusk-to-dawn timersDifferent days, pumps, 20 A
A digital timer holds several on and off programs, and the pool models take up to 20 A through a 2 ft cord.
Digital timersPower where the lights are
A power stake puts six covered outlets on a spike in the lawn, at the end of a cord from 6 to 100 ft long.
Power stakesA desk full of chargers
A surge strip adds outlets with 600 joules of surge protection and a switch you can reach, on a cord from 4 to 30 ft.
Surge stripsWhich cord length
Measure the path, not the straight line, and check the amps the cord is rated for at that length. The cord guide has the table.
Extension cord guideWatering while you are away
A hose timer on the garden tap runs the sprinkler at dawn and waits out a rainy day with a 24, 48 or 72 hour delay.

About the brand
7 years of timers, stakes and cords
TiFFCOFiO started in 2019 with a plug-in outdoor timer and grew into the TiFFCOFiO range, made for everything between the wall outlet and the thing you want to switch: the lamp in the hall, the lights on the fence, the pump by the pool.
- Grounded where it mattersThe outdoor timers, stakes and outdoor cords are 3-prong and grounded, the way outdoor cords should be.
- Rated, and the rating printedThe plug-in products state their load in amps and watts, and the cords state their wire gauge.
- Set it oncePin dials, light sensors, digital programs or a remote: whichever suits the job, it runs without you.
Questions
What people ask before they buy
Every product on this site has a button that opens it at our retail partner, in the exact length and pack you picked. You check out there, and payment, delivery and returns are handled by them.
If you want the lights on at dark all year, pick a dusk-to-dawn timer: it switches on when the sensor sees night and off after 2 to 10 hours, so the schedule moves with the seasons. If you want the same clock times every day, a 24-hour pin timer is simpler. The timer guide walks through both.
The outdoor timers and stakes are built for outdoor use, with covers over the outlets. Hang the timer with the outlets facing down, keep the covers shut, keep the plug end off the wet ground, and plug into a GFCI-protected outlet.
As many as its rating allows: the plain 6-outlet stake is rated 15 A and 1875 W. Add up the watts printed on each string. LED strings draw a few watts each, old incandescent strings far more, and the strings' own labels say how many can be linked end to end.
Measure the route the cord will follow along the ground or the wall, add a couple of feet, and pick the next length up. Longer cords of the same gauge carry less: a 16 AWG cord is good for 13 A up to 50 ft and 10 A at 100 ft, and our 100 ft outdoor cord is rated 10 A for that reason.
The 7-day outdoor digital timer has a replaceable battery that holds its programs while the outlet is dead. With any digital timer, glance at the clock on the display after a long outage, before the next program is due.
