Bypassed Timeclock

Bypassing a faulty stair lighting timeclock might seem like a quick fix to get the lights back on, but leaving communal lights running 24/7 wastes significant energy, accelerates component wear, and violates local council guidelines. Edinburgh Council rightly requires tenement stairwells to operate on a functional timer to control energy consumption and protect light fittings from overheating.

We were recently called out to inspect a stairwell where a failed timeclock had been completely removed and bypassed. To restore full functionality and bring the system up to standard, we:

• Installed a Dedicated Timeclock: Replaced the bypassed wiring with an accurate astronomical Timeclock designed to track local Edinburgh sunrise and sunset times.

• Upgraded Circuit Protection: Fitted modern Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) within the enclosure to ensure individual circuit protection and simplify future maintenance.

Don't let a bypassed or faulty timer drive up your communal electricity bills. Modernize your entire lighting arrangement with a long-lasting LED Conversion, review our transparent Pricing for timer replacements and consumer unit repairs, or Contact us today to book a stairwell inspection across Edinburgh.This timeclock was removed and bypassed. The Council rightly insist on tenements having a working timeclock to save energyand protect the fittings. Installed a new timer and MCBs
