Product Description
Tired of seeing lights left on in un-occupied rooms? These countdown timer switches, sometimes called a "timed lag switch" can relieve that frustration. These stylish timer switches ensure that you do not leave lights and appliances on longer than necessary. Press the time button you need and the LED next to the selected button lights up. As the time counts down, the lit LED moves down until at 2 minutes before shut-off the LED flashes to indicate impending shut-off.All install easily into a regular single or multi gang wall box in place of a standard switch. Now includes a matching screw-in trim plate.

Leviton 612-6230-W timer switch Functional but could be better October 15, 2009
H. Herr (Salem, OR USA)
The switch works as expected. However, the screws that came with it is cheesy. The head is slotted and different gap than standard slotted screw. I threw them away and got my own. The specification or someplace should've mention that this switch works only for certain wiring. I was lucky to be wired the way that it wants. Power, all three wires, have to go to the switch first then to the fixture for this to work. Make sure this is your wiring before you buy it otherwise the switch won't for you otherwise.
Once it's installed, it works great. However, I only had it for a couple of weeks. Hopefully it will last a while.

Works great. No problems after couple months. Its really tough to get this in with all the 12 gauge wires of a double gang box like I had. Easy install other than stuffing it all in the box. Not as easy to use in the dark as a regular switch, but led helps you find it.
Works Great - Plus a Few Installation Tips August 10, 2009

This is a great product that works exactly as I had hoped. The timer operates silently except for a slight click when the switch turns on and off. The LED's are bright red, so fans of Cylons and KITT will have one more reason to love glowing, red rectangles. The LED's show time remaining, so if you hit the "30 min." button, that button will light up until 15 minutes are left, then the LED next to the "15 min." button will light, etc. The LED below the bottom button glows constantly when the switch is "OFF".
As other reviews have stated, this timer requires a white, neutral wire in the switch box. There is more than one code approved way to wire a switched fixture such as a ceiling light or bath fan in a residence and you may not have a white, neutral wire present in the box. The only way to know is to switch power OFF at the circuit breaker, then open up the switch box and take a look. If you don't see any white wires, you can't use this timer. (If you don't have a white, neutral wire, most rotary twist knob timers will work for you, but you should verify using the manufacturer's web site product page for the timer you want to install.)
To install this timer correctly, you may need to distinguish between the "hot" black wire (the one that brings power into the box) and the black wire that sends the power up to the fixture. This can be done safely by covering the exposed metal on the black wires with electrical tape or wire nuts, turning the power ON at the circuit breaker and using a non-contact voltage tester such as the Fluke 1AC-A1-II Volt-Alert AC Non-Contact Voltage Tester or the Gardner Bender GVD-504A Circuit Alert Non-Contact Voltage Tester. Once you've identified the "hot" black wire, label it or mark it with masking tape, turn the power OFF at the circuit breaker, then continue with the installation.
This timer has metal fins on both sides of the switch. If this switch is being used in a multi-switch box, you may need to break off the metal fins on one or both sides of the switch. The fins are pre-scored and can be removed by repeatedly bending the fins up and down using pliers.

I installed this timer on my bathroom vent fan and it works great. No more
fussing about leaving the vent fan on for hours. Easy to install but make sure the power is turned off before installing. Will get another one for
the hall bathroom.
no problems so far March 12, 2009

Easy to install, easy to use. I wish it was a little cheaper but it feels like quality construction and based on the feel and design I have no doubts that it will last. Only one small complaint. The LED indicator lights are hard to read from off axis. I wouln't hesitate to buy this again.
