Even though this is for indoor use, I believe it is safe to use in this dry setting as there is no exposure to water.
The key is if someone turns off the power switch by mistake, the battery backup retains the power. It arrived in the package powered up, so I assume it lasts for many hours.
I've used this for 3 years and it is a terrific timer. No issues with the connections.
I'm surprised there are some many negative comments about this being difficult to program.
You press the program button to set it to turn on - set the hours and minutes, press it again to set the off time.
You can program up to 20 different timers settings, but anyone who needs 20 different settings should probably get free counselling.
It is true the RND and DST features are not obvious to figure out, but it will take you about 2 minutes to figure out. For RND, just hold down the HOUR/RND button for 3 seconds until the indicator disappears. For DST, hold down the CLOCK button for 3 seconds. If you can handle that massive complexity, you're good to go.
And for $15 from a credible brand of GE, it's a good value. Much better than the cheap mechanical ones with the annoying tabs.
The picture in Amazon is incorrect. It does not show the RND or DST buttons. If you get lucky, you might get the one they show because who needs the RND and DST feature anyway. A NASA engineer must have been hired by GE to put in as many features as they can.
Notable features: The timer plugs into a three-prong grounded outlet and it has a single three-prong grounded outlet for a timed device. The outlet rating is for 15 Amps (pure resistive load - not a lamp with a heater element), 10 Amps (1250 Watts) Tungsten (e.g. an incandescent lamp or ballast lamp with an initial electrical surge when first turned on), or 1/2 (0.5) horsepower (e.g. for a motor).
It is fairly easy to program the unit with the buttons following the provided instructions, although see below to understand some of the buttons. I will not replicate the instructions here. Google "GE 15150 user instructions" without the quotes to get a PDF copy of the instructions.
Each program can be activated for a selectable set of days of the week - any one day, weekdays, weekends, all days, and a few other subsets of the days of the week. This is not documented in the instructions. While in programming mode, press WEEK successively to choose the day(s) on which this program will activate.
The unit has an internal battery to maintain its settings. It must be plugged into a wall outlet for five minutes before setting it up. The instructions say nothing about how long it takes to fully charge the battery or how long a charge lasts!
The On/Off button can be pushed to set the unit to On (always on), Off (always off), On/Auto (switch on and in timer mode), and Off/Auto (switch off and in timer mode.
The unit has a Daylight Savings Time (DST) feature. It is not documented in the instructions. Pressing the Clock/DST button for a few seconds activates DST mode. Pressing it again turns this off. It sets the hour ahead or back one hour, making it easier to adjust for DST. When on there is a TINY +1Hr indicator on the display. Set this on or off according to whether you are on DST before setting the clock.
The unit has a Random feature although as of this writing I have not tested it. It is not documented in the instructions. While the unit is on with just the time of day displayed (NOT in program or clock-set mode), pressing and holding HOUR/RND for a few seconds turns RND on or off. A TINY RND indicator in the display indicates the mode is active. I found a YouTube video for a different GE timer that also has a Random function. On that timer, activating RND mode will cause the timer to turn lights on/off in a +/- 30 minute window around your set time (up to 30 minutes before or after the set time.) Hopefully it works the same way on this unit. It probably makes sense to have at least a 30-minute on time if using this feature.
I recommend the timer although you may want to print this review and keep the notes with the instructions!
One thing needs to point out is the instruction paper is not accurate about how to operate the timer. It mentions three settings: ON to remain on and ignore user's setting, OFF to remain off and ignore user's setting, and AUTO to follow user's settings. But actually when I click "ON/OFF" button, it will recycle the operating modes as ON, AUTO ON, OFF, AUTO OFF. There is no "AUTO" mode but either "AUTO ON" or "AUTO OFF" modes. If you set the operation mode to "AUTO OFF", although your lamp is off right now, the timer will turn it on when your next on setting time arrives and keep following any future on/off settings. If you set the operation mode to "AUTO ON", then it is on now, and will be turned off when the next Off setting time arrives and then follow any future on/off settings. I am adding this comment to avoid any confusion that you may have. In addition, before clicking "ON/OFF" button to set "AUTO OFF" mode to let timer be in charge of your lamp or other appliance, click "ON/OFF" button to reach "ON" mode to see if you lamp can be turned on to avoid a mistake that you forget to turn the switch of your lamp on. Also, you'd better carefully check all your on/off settings to make sure AM/PM of the setting times are that you intended because it's easy to make mistakes. Overall, I highly recommend this digital timer based on the build quality and all the features it has.
