Timer For Lighting Circuit

What if they forget to leave the light switches on? Most people have lamps they would be better off with a plug in timer.

I recently saw a system where a central heating timer had been used to control 2 lights (so one was connected to the "heating" output and the other was connected to the "water" output) - and the overide was courtsey of the +1 hour button. The bonus I guess of using such a device is that it would have battery inside so in the event of a power failure the clock wouldn't stop.
