Neat timer! The regular motor-driven dual timers I use have regular contacts that break the power to the Power supply(s); but the hassle is that they have to be re-set after power outages.
I don't see it in the description, but do these keep the program with a battery or non-volatile memory when the power comes back on, or do U have to re-program?
On the Afterglow subject, I'm tryin to figure out how these will fix the E-Shine night-light effect? I guess if the Power supply holds a front-end capacitor charge when switched off, it's enough to keep the LED's lit for awhile. Maybe these fix the afterglow due to the fact that they "bleed" the voltage faster on the input side of the supply? In other words, are the contacts "solid-state", and have a bleed resistor on the output? Not all power supplies are created equal, and they are the weakest link in a LED system after any cooling fans and moving parts, of course.
Meanwhile, back to the future...where's my flux capacitors?
Yes they have a battery in them for backup
