I tend to keep odd hours and travel quite a bit, but I don’t like leaving the house too empty ie. I’d like to give people the impression that it is occupied even when I’m not there.
I had been looking for some kind of timer that would allow me to have lights come on at random times, but I haven’t had much luck in finding one. All the timers I’ve come across have fixed times, though I’m sure there must be a random one out there…
I did, however, find an alternative solution today.
The unit is photosensitive and should switch lights on at dusk and off at dawn. It’s not much bigger than a standard ceiling light fitting and can be easily plugged in to a standard lamp socket.
I’ll be testing it out over the next few days, but it’s such a simple device it should just work
