Jake,
You need two timers. The first one is triggered by a pushbutton. The second
one is triggered by the first one. The second timer will turn the light on.
There is a hughe amount of 555-info on the net. Monostables (the timers you
need) are found at http://www.andy-clarkson.me.uk/555/mono4.html , but there
are many, many more.
You have to amplify the output of your second timer to switch the lamp. When
using a low voltage type you don't need a relay. A power transistor will be
easier and cheaper.
pieter.
