Comments about Sylvania Table-Top Timer - OSTSA105:

Finally-a table top light timer! "You want to put a light on a timer - but also want the ability to turn the light on in case it gets dark early, or if you are up reading past the timer's turn off time." This operates like any lamp timer. There's also a manual switch that lets you turn on the light anytime you need it. What makes this different is that this timer actually sits on your table! Other timers I've seen also have a manual switch on the timer-but those timers plug directly into the outlet. This means that if you want to turn on the light manually, you need to stoop down to get to the timer that is plugged into wall outlet.) The white color of the timer works great for us. The cord is a little thick - not the most attractive, but works okay for us.
