What is a Time Lag Staircase Switch?

Staircase Time Lag Switches are designed for use in common areas where you might have multiple switching positions on a common lighting circuit where a temporary use of light is required. These are most commonly used to switch lights on in a stairwell and the beauty of this is that they will switch themselves off after a pre-set time.

Previously Staircase Time Lag switches have only been available as air-operated push buttons and as they were only available in a plain white finish with an unsightly large white button plunger they were found to be unsuitable for many properties where something more stylish was a requirement.

When using any version of Time Lag Staircase switch you cannot use standard on/off light switches on the same circuit - all the other switches for the lights will need to be the same Time Lag Switches.

At Sockets and Switches we have two versions of the Time Lag Switch - Retrofit and Module.

Retrofit Time Lag Switches

We have introduced a Retrofit Staircase Time Lag Switch to our range. These decorative switches simply replace the old White air-operated push button type.

For simplicity of installation the Retrofit Time Lag models do not require a neutral and as such can be used as a straight replacement for your existing light switch.

The switch has a fully adjustable time delay from 1 minute up to 2 hours, to alter the delay you simple adjust the setting on the rear of the switch when installing. On use the user presses the push button on the switch to briefly switch the lights ON and then after your pre-set time has elapsed, the lights will switch OFF automatically.

You have a choice of a standard button switch or an illuminated version with a location light which remains lit until the switch is pressed to help find the switch in the dark. When pressed the location light goes off as the lights come on; once the time lag period has elapsed the location light then comes back on.

Important - never use a Retrofit Time Lag Staircase Switch that is not rated higher than the load applied to it – the maximum loads for the Retrofit switches are 1500w (240v) or 1000w (Fluorescent) or 500w (LED). The switches can also be used for Fans or Halide Lights up to 250w.

We recommend a 35mm deep wall box as these switches are approximately 29mm deep.

Module Switches - only available in certain styles

This version of the Time Lag Switch requires a module to be fitted into the circuit to work. You will require only one Staircase Time Lag Module per circuit and are usually located remotely and out of sight. This means you can have fully deccorative switches where the light is required and any number on the circuit and can be combine Staircase Time Lag Switches with Toggle Light Switches on the same plate if required.

The module has a fully adjustable time delay setting from 30 seconds up to 10 minutes that is pre-set on installation – this then enables the users to press the push button Staircase Time Lag Switch briefly to switch ON the lights then after the pre-set time has elapsed the lights will switch OFF automatically.

Important - never use a Staircase Time Lag Module that is not rated higher than the total load applied to it – the maximum loads for the module are 2300w (240v) or 1500w (12v) or 1000w (Fluorescent) or 460w (LED).

We recommend 25mm or 35mm deep wall boxes for mounting our button dimmer switches.

big metal switch plug socket was just what i needed and they fit the old boxes in the wall as a straight exchange so no fuss. they hid chipped plaster where they took off the old ones.

      Nice & Large Usb Plug Socket

Very impressed with this item. Only down side is that the USB Socket has black on/off switches whereas the normal sockets have brass ones but other than that it?s perfect.

      Bigger But Better
23 May 2020 by Manny Sahota, Bradford - Verified Customer

I picked these to replace my existing tatty white plastic plug sockets and i wanted something a bit bigger to tidy up the rough edges left behind when i took the old ones off. these fit as a straight swap so i didnt need to change or mess with the boxes in the wall and being that bit bigger the hole spacings were exactly the same. Amazing how much better things look when you decorate and change the electrics.

      Just The Right Size
01 May 2019 by Nigel Bird Builders, Birmingham - Verified Customer

The 95mm size plates really saved my job. Decorator had decorated around the old switches then the normal sized 86mm switches I got from my wholesaler ended up showing the un-papered wall. These were just the right size and I completed the job without having to redecorate the entire house! Life saver - brilliant product.

      Chunky Switches

I looked everywhere for larger switches and was thrilled to find these.

      Good Idea
11 March 2019 by Christine Hoo, Hull - Verified Customer

These were big enough to hide some decorating damage caused when removing my normal white plastic sockets. Good quality and look really good.

      Big Socket

Big Socket that replaced my normal sized ones and tidied up the wall around where I removed the old one. A great solution.

      Large Switches The Perfect Solution
11 January 2019 by Andrew Tate, Shropshire - Verified Customer

I Removed My Old Switches and The Wallpaper Had Been Cut Out Around Them So When I Replaced With Normal White Switches You Could See The Mess Left Behind. These Larger Switches Fitted A Treat and Completely Covered Up The Edges of The Wallpaper and Look great.

      Look great
