## Parameters

### offset
({{< req >}})
Fixed duration for the location offset.
This duration is the offset from UTC.




## Examples

- [Return a fixed location record](#return-a-fixed-location-record)
- [Set the location option using a fixed location](#set-the-location-option-using-a-fixed-location)

### Return a fixed location record

```js
import "timezone"

timezone.fixed(offset: -8h)// Returns {offset: -8h, zone: "UTC"}


```


### Set the location option using a fixed location

```js
import "timezone"

// This results in midnight at 00:00:00-08:00 on any day.
option location = timezone.fixed(offset: -8h)

```

> [!Note]
> The `location` option only affects boundaries used for windowing, specifically around time shifts
> like daylight savings. It does not change timestamps in the `_time` column, which are always UTC.
