About the TiFFCOFiO Outdoor 24-hour mechanical timer

A plug-in outdoor timer with a 24-hour pin dial and two grounded outlets on a short 6-inch lead, for the porch lights, the path lights or a small pump.

Each of the 48 pins around the dial is half an hour. Push down the pins for the hours you want the power on, slide the switch to timer mode, and the pattern repeats every day with no screen to program. Hang it by the outdoor outlet with the outlets pointing at the ground and keep the flap shut. It is rated 15 A and comes in packs of one, two or four, for the front of the house, the back and the shed. The outdoor 24-hour mechanical timer is one of 41 models in the TiFFCOFiO collection.

This is general safety information, not electrical advice for your home. The rating printed on the device and the instruction sheet in the box are the final word, and wiring questions belong with a licensed electrician.

What the safety sources say

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, holiday decorating safety tips. Asks you to use outdoor lights certified for outdoor use, to plug them into a GFCI-protected outlet or a portable GFCI, and to check that each extension cord is rated for the job and free of cuts. Read September 28, 2026.
Electrical Safety Foundation International, Don't Overload Your Home. Says power strips only add outlets and do not add power to the wall outlet behind them, and that major appliances belong in a wall receptacle, not on an extension cord. Read September 28, 2026.

How much can you plug into the TiFFCOFiO Outdoor 24-hour mechanical timer?

The TiFFCOFiO Outdoor 24-hour mechanical timer is rated for 15 A in total, so the watts printed on everything you plug into it should add up to less than that. If a pump or a compressor runs from the outdoor 24-hour mechanical timer, leave headroom: a motor pulls more than its running figure as it starts.

How do you set the TiFFCOFiO Outdoor 24-hour mechanical timer?

Turn the dial of the outdoor 24-hour mechanical timer until the current time sits at the arrow, then push down a pin for every stretch of time you want the power on. The outdoor 24-hour mechanical timer repeats that pattern every 24 hours until you move the pins.

Can the TiFFCOFiO Outdoor 24-hour mechanical timer sit in the rain?

The outdoor 24-hour mechanical timer is made for outdoor use, with covers over the outlets. Keep the covers of the outdoor 24-hour mechanical timer closed, point its outlets down or to the side, keep its plug off wet ground and plug it into a GFCI-protected outlet, as the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advises for outdoor lights.
