Finder 12 Series Time Switches at LED Controls
Simple, reliable control for lighting and electrical loads
Finder 12 Series Time Switches are reliable time-based controllers that automate lighting and electrical loads, switching off or on at pre-set times to help you save energy, reduce costs and remove the hassle of manual switching. They can be set to work daily, weekly or even annually. Some versions also use sunrise and sunset times, known as Astro functions, so lighting adjusts automatically through the seasons.
What are Finder 12 Series Timer Switches used for?
Finder 12 Series switches are widely used in both domestic and commercial settings, including:
- Outdoor and security lighting
- Shop window displays and signage
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems
- Irrigation and pump control
- Public lighting and communal areas
- Schools, offices and commercial buildings
They help ensure equipment only runs when it is needed, reducing wasted energy and giving you one less thing to worry about!
Mechanical or digital - which switch should I choose?
Mechanical timers are simple, robust and ideal for straightforward daily or weekly schedules. They are easy to set using physical dials and require no software.
Digital timers offer greater flexibility. They allow more precise switching times, multiple programmes and advanced functions such as Astro control, random switching and pulse outputs. These are ideal for commercial installations or anywhere accuracy matters.
Smart configuration with your smartphone
Many Finder 12 Series digital models include smart configuration using NFC technology. With the Finder Toolbox app on Android or iOS, you can configure the timer directly from your smartphone, often up to five times faster than manual setup. Smart configuration allows you to:
- Configure and save schedules on your phone
- Copy settings to multiple devices
- Reduce setup errors on site
- Speed up commissioning on larger installations
