Hi all,
I'm looking for a light switch that is basically a timer that when you turn it on it will stay on for say 10 - 20 mins then turn off. not really keen on putting umpteen PIR's in...
Usual trouble...struggling to get the family to turn lights off after leaving the room.
Any one got any suggestions?
Kind regards,
A newbie (but keen) moneysaver!

Yeh but what if you stay in the room it'll go dark again.
At work we had a system of movement sensors that turned of the lights if they detected no movement, we had to give a waive every so often to keep them on!
Found a time lag switch here .
Shirley it would be easier to change over to Low energy lamps, which take only 20% of the energy of an incandescent lamp.
They are nice and cheap at Ikea.That gum you like is coming back in style.0
