Hi,
I am looking to add a timer (not me do the work, but a qualified electrician) for our porch light and then set it to to come on and off every day. The porch light is LED. I was hoping to use a digital timer like this one from Green Brook, but then I read this:
"Ensure at least a 300mm air space is allowed around the timer."
We were hoping to place the timer just below a coat rail, and so it would effectively be hidden by coats and jackets, etc. But that would not be possible if it needed this much space.
Is this a standard feature of timers that they need this airspace? Is there something else you could suggest that could be on a wall covered in coats?
