Lighting - Time delay switch

[DIYerHELP]

Hello, does anyone know of a light switch that will offer a time delay option?

Ideally a device that will fit into or replace an existing 1-way light switch, which when turned on will last for approximately 5-15 minutes then automatically turn itself off?

There are other options. You can get an electronic timeswitch (does away with troublesome & abusable pneumatics, and some also have a neon locator.

Also, you can get PIR switches (they replace a 1way switch and don't need a neutral).

I thought is was the other way around

Time delay - no neutral

PIR - neutral required

I have used both types which did not need a neutral.

Thanks Guys! The ones on the Cyberselect website are quite expensive, the screwfix one looks good. Has anyone used these? Ideally the maximum I wanted to pay was around the £30 mark. Cheers.

They're common in communal areas in flats.

I think a separate PIR sensor switch be better. Are these easy to install to an existing light? Has anyone used one and could recommend a small neat PIR sensor for indoor use?
