timed lighting?

[dave_p_r_b]

I have a strip light in my garage, this can be operated by two stiches, one inside the garage and one in the house.

I keep leaving the light on

Is there some kind of timer device which could switch it off after a couple of hours or so?

TIA,
Dave.

Dave, there are a number of types of timed switches on the market, from ones which use air to electronic ones.

The real question is how long do you spend in the garage?

Would a room occupancy sensor not do the job better? This is a special type of PIR sensor, when it detects body heat it will switch on a given circuit, when it no longer detects that heat signature, it turns the circuit off again.

Try this link for an Adobe article about them. The ones featured are US models, but they are available in the UK too.

I have just added a UK spec one to my website for you look at, it is pdf but you can see it .

Danlers do this kind of stuff, both time lag switches (electronic) and PIR occupancy sensors.

Don't know what others think about their stuff, but I used it because they have no restrictions at all on what kind of load you have, it is a straight 6A loading irespective of the type or mix of lighting you have.

Electronic Time-lag switch code is TLSW10.

They have ceiling mounted occupancy switches surface (WAOC SF) or flush (CEFL PIR) or a wall-mounted model designed to replace a standard wall switch. This kind of switch has two variants, no neutral required (WAOC) or neutral required (WAOC A)

Ps I have had no complaints about the TLSW10's I have installed - they're going great guns switching 1420W!
