Cheers! I've noticed that it takes longer to switch one way than back
again. Also, I notice that there's two capacitors, one 100uf and one
470uf. Is this implementing the two different delays? What would
happen if I took the capacitors off and just wired direct? Would that
give me no delay or would it stop working or blow something?

I apologise for not knowing too much about what must be GCSE level
electronics. I do very much regret opting for a different subject at
school..!
