    Timed delay switch

    As my family seem completely incabable of turning the bathroom light off, I want to install a time delay switch (like those you get in stairwells in flats etc.) Does anyone know of one that can be easily overridden if someone goes for a bath. (PIR wouldn't work as switch is on the landing).
