| Is there a programmable timer that I can use for my LED's to turn them off and on at a specified time? The one I find require a 40watt load minimum. |
Follow-Up Postings:

| Haven't seen any specifically targeted at LED. A more complicated, extensive and expensive solution could be to use some form of home automation (Z-Wave, Lutron's proprietary solution, etc) to control an ELV switch. It's probably not practical for one or two lamps. |
|
| The other issue is with the solid state switch (a TRIAC) used in most automation. You need lights that can tolerate a dimmer to survive on a TRIAC switch (even for full on-off operation). |
|
| Outdoor transformer/timers do it all the time for low voltage landscaping lights but I can't find one rated for indoor use. Is this because it would be a fire hazard? |
