Flexicon Pneumatic 6A Time Lag Switch 10Sec–10min | FTS40

The Flexicon FTS40 Pneumatic Time Lag Switch is a simple, low-cost and energy-saving lighting control solution. Designed to automatically turn lights off after a pre-set time delay, it helps reduce wasted energy and electricity costs in shared or frequently used spaces such as stairwells, storerooms, cupboards, and communal areas.

Once the button is pressed, the switch activates the internal pneumatic timer, keeping the light on for the selected duration before turning it off automatically. The delay can be set during installation anywhere between 10 seconds and 10 minutes, offering flexibility for different applications.

The FTS40 is ideal for retrofit projects — it fits standard 20mm or 25mm BS single gang wall boxes and requires no neutral connection. With a robust snap-action switch mechanism and a clean white finish, this unit combines practicality, durability, and energy efficiency in one cost-effective package.
