do you want the switch to override the timer so you can switch on manually even if the timer is off?

Hi yes in theory thats what i want it to do.

thanks

ok, you feed the timer first. from your info, L to terminal 2. N to terminal 4. your light is L from terminal 1, N from terminal 4. then you connect you switch common to 2, L1 to 1. ( obvoiusly, connect earths , and make sure supply is isolated before you start.

on a 2nd look at to timer , may need to link terminals 2 and 3.

Hi i have drawn a couple of sketches to show what i have now and how i think it should be wired your way (by the description) would you mind just taking a quick look at the sketches when you have time to see if i have understood it correctly.
