Astronomical Timer Programming for Landscape Lighting
Your lights turn on at sunset and off at sunrise — automatically, every day, with no seasonal adjustments. We install and program it once, and it runs itself from there.
One operator. Same person designs, installs, and maintains your system. Not a subcontractor.
Custom design. Every plan is sketched on-site for your specific property.
Clean installs. Buried cable, hidden transformers, no exposed wiring.
Timer Types We Install and Program
- Standard digital timer — manual on/off times that need seasonal recalibration
- Photocell sensor — activates at dusk, deactivates at dawn based on ambient light level
- Astronomical timer — calculates exact local sunrise and sunset for your GPS coordinates year-round
- Offset programming — lights on 30 minutes before sunset, off an hour after midnight, or any variation you prefer
Timer Upgrade or New Installation
If your current transformer has a basic digital timer, an astronomical upgrade is often a straightforward swap — same enclosure, same wiring, new controller. We program your coordinates, set any desired offsets, and verify the schedule before we leave. For new installations, we build astronomical timing in from the start so you never deal with seasonal drift.
In South Florida, sunset shifts nearly two hours between winter and summer. A standard timer set for a 7:00 PM winter on-time will be running your lights in full daylight by July. An astronomical timer eliminates this completely — it tracks your local sunset every day of the year without any intervention from you.
