In our house we do have lightning that stops working after a 30 seconds

Someone who can help me find that thing on the net. And no, I don't look
for a timer that programs every day or wathever, it's quiet easier. It's
just a timer for our lightning in the hall. Have to work for 30 seconds
or 1 minuut for example. It's built on the electrical box in the garage.
You (hopefully..) mean a "lighting timer". Try a Google search on that -
you will find plenty.
The ones I use have a special "push-button" light switch rather than
some electrical box in the garage.
Ok, tnx, I'm searching for a lighting timer. Easy to replace the other?
"Time Delay Pneumatic Switch"
If only a single switch controls the light, generally yes. If the light
has two or more switches (eg one in the hall and another at the top of
the stairs, both of which allow the light to be switched on and off) -
it becomes more difficult and these "1 way" switches aren't suitable.
ok, I'll look for it in a store where they sell those things. And yes,
it's only on and off switch for 1 circuit of light (more than 1 light, i
guess there are 4 lights).

That doesn't look right...you could just eliminate that horrible looking
box timer & get a sensor switch from The Home Depot and replace the wall
switch to the lights in question with that., it has an adjustable
sensitivity/time feature that will suit your needs.... Erm, I suspect
that the travel cost of popping down to the nearest Home Depot may be a
little high for the OP. The USA doesn't cover the whole planet - yet.

Do they have a post office, the home depot has internet service &
delivery, also I believe Leviton & other worldwide companies carry the
switch box sensors/timers };-)

I can ([dig it] I) understand that, but in the business simplicity &
comfort of use is a very important factor - most modern people aren't
comfy with what they can't control with the simplest gesture....not to
mention the space age folk };-)
I think we're going end up back in Analytical Calculus }
