VA Use a relay to auto shut off led lights?

Does anyone know how to use a relay to automatically shut off interior lights after 30-60 mins?

Or where i can find relay that will do this?

Why on Earth would you want your interior lights on for 30-60 minutes?

Oh and this is about the 6th post and two threads you've made today that kinda touches on this very same subject.


There is no relay that is going to just shut itself off after 30 minutes. You were somewhat right in the other thread were you spoke of needing a timer. What you will really need is a module with both a timer and a relay inside it. For instance..............Mazda does sell a footwell kit that does include a module that shuts off the lights after x amount of time, but x isn't really defined.............and it's way shorter than 30 minutes!

Yeah ryanmio, no need to create multiple threads on the same topic... keep it to one thread.
Through email I suggested a one-shot timer relay that can be purchased with a fixed timer so he doesn't have to mess with pots, dips, or adding resistive loads... and it should be easy for him to understand.
