Compact Auto-Off Socket

The AmerTac SLC7BC is a screw-in light control that fits between a standard socket and a bulb. It automatically switches the light off 15 minutes after the lamp is turned on. The unit accepts incandescent or LED bulbs up to 100 watts and includes a shroud that blocks reflected light from reaching the sensor. Its short-stem profile allows installation inside smaller enclosed outdoor fixtures and post lamps.

Outdoor Fixtures Needing Timed Shut-Off

Homeowners who want to prevent lights from being left on in porch lanterns, pathway posts or garden fixtures will find this device practical. The weather-resistant housing and solid-state circuitry suit exposed locations where moisture is present. Buyers who need the light to stay on longer than 15 minutes, or who require adjustable timing, motion activation or dusk-to-dawn operation, should look at other control types.

Fixed 15-Minute Delay

The single specification that determines suitability is the non-adjustable 15-minute shut-off interval. Once the lamp is switched on, the timer runs for exactly 15 minutes and then cuts power to the bulb. If the application demands a different delay, a selectable timer or a manual switch, this socket will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the sensor stay cool and quiet if the light runs continuously for hours?

The solid-state circuit has no moving parts and is rated for up to 100 watts, so it operates silently and without noticeable heat during normal use.

What existing fitting does the short-stem unit screw into?

It threads into a standard medium-base lamp holder, letting you keep the fixture you already have.

Does the 15-minute auto-off still work when paired with an older incandescent bulb?

Yes, the timer functions with any bulb type up to the 100-watt limit, including traditional incandescent lamps.
