[quote] I haven't done a survey of the entire automotive world, but it seems as if every car today has convenience lighting that turns on the interior lights when the doors are unlocked and again when the car is turned off. On my 2006 Toyota truck, they turn off when the doors are locked, either with the switch on the door or with the remote.
Perhaps a You Pick car wrecker would be a good place to grab a circuit whole for a relative cheap price.

I'm thinking more like the circuit that lets the head lights remain on till you get the groceries in. And did I tell you this has to be small and weigh next to nothing !!! Thanks Rick, Dave

I don't know anything more about the relay than what's shown at that link, but I imagine using the relay is pretty straightforward. If you have specific questions, I and other listers will be happy to try and answer them.

Thanks for the reply Jeff. Do you have any more info on the automotive light delay relay? Dave Duperron (davedup10(at)gmail.com (davedup10(at)gmail.com).

I learned to fly in Cessnas, and as I recall leaving the beacon on was a certain way to avoid walking away from the airplane with something still on.
Perhaps the solution to your problem is just to have the cabin light on the same bus as the beacon.
Adding an extra gizmo is not the best way to go.

Which is exactly the function of the automotive relay cited. It weighs pretty close to nothing, (as close as you’re likely to get anyway) is small, about a 1” cube, is adjustable for delay time, is relatively inexpensive (only $13.00 direct from the manufacturer in single quantities) and it will switch up to 30 amps. Pretty good off the shelf solution to the problem I’d say.
