ite descriptions are (of necessity) somewhat short.


I've got them (from B&Q). they are made by Philex (www.philex.co.uk).
Bit of a strange web site, but more info can be found by following the
link Products, Product Range, Electrical, Timers and Plug-in accessories.

They work with CFL's - they take their power from an AA battery. They
work in parallel(?) to the normal light switch ie you can switch the
light on and off normally, but if the timer says the light is on, you
can't use the switch to turn it off.

Not as good as the type that take their power from the lighting
circuit, but the only thing I could find that woks with fluorescents.

Thanks Phil.
Strange site indeed!

Now I just need to hit Screwfix when they're "open" and deem themselves
able to serve their customers.

Cheers
