This is a "switch" in the hallway of our new house. There is a cover which
can be pulled down to expose some additional controls. Can someone give an
indication of this all does?

It looks like a switch that would turn the light on when it get's dark (turn
the small control to early to make it come on when it is lighter, and late
to make it come on when it gets a bit darker) then turn off after the other
setting amount of time.

But that's just my guess!

This switching unit looks like it might be a time and light sensor
control for security lights. My guess would be that by turning the dial
to early then the light will go on when it is still quite light, and
then will go off after a time (in hours) as set by the other dial. If
you have an outside light then try this with the switch in the on
position. If it works then wait till dusk and start off with the dial
at late and switch in on position. Rotate the dial towards early until
the light comes on. This will be where you want it set to. Then just
set the time to the desired setting.

It might be that you only wish to use it if you are going out and know
it will be dark when you come back. In that case set the time to
maximum and just manualy switch light off when you come back at night.

Hope this helps.

You really ought to get the hang of using Google you know. "switch + early +
late" = result

Nah, that wouldn't do. They'd all arrive at once. You'd need a second
adjuster marked "Scatter" so they'd spread arrivals over perhaps twenty
minutes. Perhaps some means of controlling the number of bottles of
dodgy wine brought with them would be good, too.

A security light switch that operates the house light that is on the
ordinary switch. The Early / Late setting allows you decide how dark it is
before the light comes on. The central dial sets (roughly) how many hours it
stays on after that. You can use it either to have a welcoming light on when
you come home late or, what it is sold for, to make the house appear
occupied when it is empty. However, for the latter, it is better to have
more than one, with different settings. You should avoid using low energy
lamps on the circuit controlled by the switch. Its timing may also gets
upset if the sensor (the small dark bit above one of the screws - I think
the left one) is exposed to a light source, other than the light it
controls, during the hours of darkness.

Many thanks for the link and the lesson. Hmm, just wading through those
15,000,000 hits.

Many thanks for all the replies. Greatly appreciated.

I see they do an "adaptor" for fluorescent loads. FLA01 which looks like a
suppressor.

Not that Google! The archive for uk.d-i-y. The very first hit from 15th
August would have answered your question.

Yes hindsight is an exact science and I could have done more for myself.
Google found, in its first few hits, an archived version of uk.d-i-y and the
article you mentioned.

I had never seen anything like it before and wasn't sure where to start.

Many thanks for the help given here.
