timer lights

Automated lamp switches

Timer lights are lights connected to an automatic timing device that turns them on and off at preset times.

Homeowners use them to simulate occupancy while away: We put the living room lamps on timer lights before vacation.

The term covers both the integrated unit and the combination of lights with a separate timer.
