There is a quick and effective way to reduce the energy consumption for the lighting applications – use time lag switches(time delay switches)! The way these wiring accessories work is – by pressing the button/the pad, the lights turns on and, after a set interval of time, the light turns off! The range of time lag switches found at sparksdirect.co.uk do not require a neutral connection – they can simply replace the existing light switch; also, in most cases they represent a simpler/cheaper/more effective solution for lighting control.
Where can you use a time lag switch? The Time Delay Switches are ideal for the lighting applications on the stairwells(staircases), in the meeting rooms, on the corridors, in the entrance lobbies, the store cupboards, at the toilets, etc. They are fully suitable for new or retro-fit applications.
