Hi all,

 

I've got two security lights on the house which we switch on/off manually every day by means of a normal switch inside the house. I'd like to set this on a timer but can't do one of those PIR/Dust-till-Dawn jobbies as there is too much ambient light. I was wondering if anyone knows of a 240V 24hr timer which can be hardwired into the electrics. I don't want one of those timers that you stick into a socket - no good for this application. Once upon a long time ago I saw a timer that was the same shape/size as a light switch and could be flush mounted in the wall. Any idea where I might get one of these? The local B&Q folk are as clueless as ever ...

 

Thanks for your suggestions!

Mrbusy & Darkside TT: Many thanks for that! It would seem that the one at Maplins will do exactly what I want it to do! Funny that - I walked into Maplins in Solihull last week and asked one of their sales people - didn't have a clue and couldn't find it in their catalogue! Cheers chaps!

B&Q sell a programable light switch too (or did when I got mine).
