Two things can cause problem.
1) defective timer
2) feedback from nearby lights

Make sure timer is turned away from lights so photo-eye doesn't receive feedback.
Feedback is when the photo eye gets too much light, and then timer thinks it's dawn, so lights turn off, and a moment later photo eye thinks it's dusk again and lights turn on again.
Feedback from lights will cause timer to reset the 6 hour countdown.
A car pulling in the driveway can cause feedback.
If the timer resets because of feedback, it begins the 6 hour countdown again, so the lights will not turn off until much later, or at dawn.

You can test timer by putting black tape over photo eye, and then timer will turn on.
Set timer for 2 hours for example and then check if timer turned off 2 hours later.

If timer is not functioning correctly, then timer is defective.

Question edited for a lot more clarity. All question need 'make model what is is)' as first words in the question. Question moved from Lands Phone to Woods Timer. Phone number removed. This site has 11 million views a year, how many would you like to phone you? Instructions and videos. Follow carefully. If that doesn't work, contact Woods for warranty replacement. https://www.google.com/search?q=woods+50016+timer+instructions ..

If you look on the back, you will find the instructions engraved in it. You will need good eyesight. Is it the one with the photocell for Christmas lights? Plug it in, press the button once for set, press again until you reach the number of hours (say 6) after dark you want it it on. Take note that when you set it, the light will be on. It won't work properly until the next day. On at dusk (5:00pm is) and off after the preset (6) hours. https://www.google.com/search?q=woods+outdoor+timer+instructions Two button

Hari, DISCONNECT POWER..circut breaker.. FOR 30-60 SECONDS AND REAPPLY, SOMETIMES A POWER SURGE CAN LOCK UP THE ELECTRONICS AND THIS WILL RESET IT. Otherwise Amazon has them for $13.00. Best to you.
