Since pneumatic or mechanical delay switches with outdoor fitting kits
are extortionately expensive, I was wondering if anyone had a good
circuit for making my own...
Ideally a single button press would start a delay timer that activates a
light for a few minutes (to light the way from the garage to the house).
I'm happy enough with digital electronics but my analogue is weak.. it
seems like there should be a way to use mains only for this, with a triac
or SCR to switch the load (<1000W)...
