Leviton DT230-1LW Countdown Switch – 5–30 Minute Timers, 20A, Neutral Wire, White

Overview

The Leviton DT230-1LW Countdown Switch provides timer-driven control for lights, fans, and other compatible loads. With five preset options (5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes) plus a manual off, you can tailor runtime to your routine without guesswork. The design prioritizes reliable performance and a clean, cohesive look with Decora devices, making it a practical upgrade for bathrooms, entryways, or any space that benefits from timed power.

Beyond a simple on/off, this countdown switch is built to handle larger fixtures and more demanding fans. It supports substantial load ratings across a variety of lighting technologies, giving you flexibility as your needs evolve. The device is compact enough to fit standard wallboxes, yet capable of delivering steady, predictable operation when you need it most.

Key benefits

• Five convenient preset runtimes (5, 10, 15, 30 minutes) plus a manual off for immediate control.

• Stylish compatibility with Decora wallplates and a wide range of faceplate colors for a cohesive look.
• Durable, recessed design that fits neatly in the wallbox for a clean, professional install.

What it supports and practical uses

• Ideal for porch and landscape lighting, interior lights, bathroom exhaust fans, heat lamps, pool pumps, hot tubs, saunas, and attic fans.
• Automation that helps you manage energy use while keeping spaces comfortable and ready for use when needed.

Installation notes and aesthetics

The countdown timer features a shallow profile designed to fit most wallboxes, and it requires a neutral wire for proper operation. Pair it with a Decora wallplate (sold separately) for a seamless look. DTKIT faceplates are available in multiple colors—white, ivory, light almond, gray, black, and brown—to match your decor.

Whether you’re refreshing a bath, renovating a hallway, or upgrading a porch, the DT230-1LW offers a blend of performance and aesthetics that can adapt to changing needs. Consider testing a few runtimes to discover which setting best fits your routine, then enjoy hands-off control that remains responsive to your space.
