I have had it happen a couple of times, not 4 times in a month though. for the most part they get to the little switch, then dont seem to have the jam to flip it. Not sure what causes it, usually just needs a little touch to flip the switch and away it goes again. I have not had troubles with mine for weeks now though. maybe try getting electronic ones instead of mechanical???
What's the volts, watts, amps, rating on the timer?
And how many volts, watts, and amps does your light pull?
