Time Delay

[Ashley Williams]

Hi Guys

I want to install a few floodlight on the side of a building which is in a dark place. Now i want it so i can have the lights on while im in there but i also want them to stay on for 10 minutes after i leave so i can lock the door and find my way to the car. Now the obvious answer is a time delay switch but this means they will keep turning off after the time has run out meaning ive gotta turn them back on. Any idea's?

PIR with time delay. Or buy floodlights with a passive built in.

Why not use a stand alone PIR, wired to a two way switch to override it?.

All you then have to do is remember to switch it "off" when you leave.

Done that many times.
