It appears they have discontinued the discontinuing. I haven't seen any in
depth information so I don't know whether they changed the design although
it seems they now have an amber LED instead of green. The current prices
aren't bad.

I thought these used to sell for ~20?? Hrmm

I have a question regarding the V2 relay switches: why do they have 8
LEDs? I can see how in the timer enabled ones this might be used to
setup the timer, but on the regular on/off sitches... seems like an
inelegant shortcut in manufacturing.
