Door-operated mains light switch
"PHG" wrote in message ... I've got a cupboard under the stairs which my kids use for their coats/bags etc. It's already fitted with a bulb and conventional manual light switch. Because they're always forgetting to turn the light off, I was hoping to replace the switch with one that's enabled (presumably a spring mechanism) when the door is open, and turned off when the door is closed. Are these available for mains circuits ? I only recall seeing them for 9 or 12V circuits in wardrobes etc. Thanks Paul Or these: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/FM140WB.html from TLC --- http://www.basecuritysystems.no-ip.com Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Why not put a bulkhead pir light fitting in. It lights up when they open the
door and goes out 30seconds later even if the door is left open. I have put one in our porch so we can see the alarm keypad as we enter, nb weird 1930's design of outer arched split door into small porch then another door into hall. -- Pete Cross "Duncan Lees" duncan-at-snsys-dot-com wrote in message . ..
