Hello,
I'm installing a socket in my living room ceiling for a projector (it currently trails an ugly cable down the wall to the floor), I'd also like to install a wall switch to turn off the projector when not in use, rather than leave it in standby the whole time. Projectors need at least 5 minutes to cool down before being switched back on after switch off, I'd like a switch that will enforce this delay. I've been unable to find any such "restart delay" switch from rs components, maplin or farnell.
The closest thing I've found is this industrial relay, which I guess I could use with a standard wall switch, but it's probably expensive and will take much more effort to install (needing a wall box etc):

Is such a relay my only option or is there a cheaper domestic option which does the same thing?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
