I've got the hein gericke ones, which are 100% exactly the same as the Oxford ones.
Fine for spring to autumn.
Didn't wire them direct to the battery, just wouldn't entertain that. Works just fine. The first controller I had would cut out on a low tick over, but after years that controller failed and the second one never cuts out unless of course you switch it off.
And as they are effectively little heaters, so draw a bit of current, I wired them to one of the spare switched lives in the fuse box. So no worries about leaving em switched on and no dodgy wiring mods.
There's a good guide to fitting on the old forum, which if you scroll down I added some decent snaps on how to access the spare live in the fuse box. Gen1 fuse box but they are all probably similar.
