Faulty Timeclock Replaced with New
Updated: Sep 18
A faulty or out-of-sync timeclock can leave your tenement stairwell in pitch black during peak evening hours or running continuously throughout the day—wasting energy and shortening light bulb lifespan. Replaced units must be accurately calibrated to Edinburgh's seasonal daylight changes to maintain safety and compliance.
On a recent callout, a customer requested an old-style analogue astronomical timer replacement. While traditional dial-style analogue timers offer mechanical simplicity, they run on fixed solar schedules that trigger lights precisely at sunset and sunrise. Modern digital astronomical timers offer enhanced flexibility:
Customisable Offset: Digital timers can be programmed to switch on 1 hour before sunset and switch off 1 hour after sunrise, providing extra safety margins during gloomy weather.
Long Lifespan: High-quality digital units typically deliver 10+ years of maintenance-free, automatic seasonal operation.
Accurate Synchronization: Built-in battery backups preserve time settings during local power outages.
Whether your building prefers traditional analogue hardware or modern digital controls, we provide expert supply, installation, and programming.
