Purchased an Intermatic Outdoor timer, model # HB51RCL. Programed it to come on at dusk and to stay on for 6 hours. However, the lights continue to go off and when that happens it then resets the timer. How do we fix the problem?
Maybe the lights are causing photoelectric eye to sense that it's no longer dark.
This is called feedback.
To check this, set timer for 2 hours.
Put black tape over photoeye.
Check if timer turns on-and-off.
If timer continues to blink, then timer is suspect. Return it for another one.
If feedback is causing the problem, then turn timer away from lights or place obstruction between timer and lights.
