About
Use this DIN-rail astronomical timer to automate on/off times for lights in indoor distribution boards—ideal for offices and signage where you want reliable lighting after hours without someone having to remember the switch. Set it up once by choosing your city (or entering coordinates) and it will automatically track local sunrise and sunset, adjusting through the seasons for consistent, practical control.
It works well in office boards and retail signage where lighting needs to follow daylight, not a fixed clock. Once programmed, this astronomical timer keeps lights running at the right times without daily adjustments, making it a simple way to manage after-hours visibility in indoor spaces.
