Do you think it is ok to use a timer wall switch with fluorescent
lights if I never use the dimmer setting of the switch?


I have Intermatic Digi-set Programmable 24 hour Digital Wall Switch
Timer with 4 on/off settings per day.

I wanted to install a fluorescent light on my kitchen ceiling, but the
switch instructions say NO. I suspect this is because the wall switch
has a dimmer setting, but I promise, I will never use it. Do you
think this will work all right?

(The previous switch had a half intensity (or half-current) setting,
and I tried it 2 or 3 times in 15 years for curiosity, and found it of
no use.)


As long as you have another place to live while your burnt down house is
being rebuilt, your idea should be fine. In another discussion of timers &
fluorescents, a number of people mentioned products from this company, and
said they were pleased with them:
