24-06-2025

Reliable, energy-efficient lighting control for stairwells and communal spaces

ERL is placing renewed focus on two of its long-standing, professional-grade lighting control solutions: the ORBIS T22 and T16G Staircase Timers. Designed for simple, effective management of lighting in stairwells, corridors, and communal areas, both models remain trusted favourites among electrical installers across the UK.

The T22 features an adjustable delay of 45 seconds to 7 minutes, making it ideal for residential buildings or small commercial sites. With a 16A switching capacity, volt-free contacts, and manual override functionality, it provides dependable performance in compact installations.

The T16G offers a longer delay range of 3 to 30 minutes, suited to larger communal areas where prolonged lighting is needed. Rated at 10A, it shares the same 17.5mm DIN rail footprint and includes manual override and resettable timing.

Key features of both models include:

• DIN rail mounting (single module)

• Adjustable, resettable time delay

• Manual override for maintenance mode

• Volt-free contacts (16A for T22, 10A for T16G)

• Compatible with 3- or 4-wire installations

• IP20 protection and VDE-certified quality

Why Staircase Timers Still Matter

While smart lighting and motion sensors have gained traction in recent years, staircase timers remain a highly relevant and in-demand solution — particularly for retrofit applications, housing blocks, and cost-sensitive projects. Many installers prefer them for their simplicity, reliability, and no-hassle setup. With no need for neutral wiring, apps, or Wi-Fi, staircase timers offer dependable, energy-saving lighting control that’s easy to maintain and compliant with building regulations.

A Proven Choice from a Trusted Brand

The ORBIS T22 and T16G have been part of ERL’s portfolio for years, quietly delivering reliable performance across thousands of installations. As demand continues for durable, low-maintenance control gear, ERL is highlighting these products as go-to solutions for professionals who value straightforward efficiency.
