Self resetting light switches (spring loaded?)

I'm looking for a a couple of replacement light switches for a utility room and downstairs toilet.
Im constantly finding lights left on as it isnt noticeable, rather than asking for them to be turned off anymore, I think light switches as above are the only option.
I checked B&Q and the prices were 32 euro per switch which I considered fairly steep, on top of that, I think they were big clumsy round looking items.
Id tolerate the shape although Id prefer if some other style was available, but Im wondering if they can be gotten in a bricks and mortar wholesalers more cheaply? where's in or near west dublin? I used to go to T O'Reilly if I ever needed something but I think they have closed down.

Might suit better.

Thanks, Looks like they are around that price then, maybe an electronic one will be less clunky and last longer.
I dont know if it will pay for itself in the end but it will mean only having to switch the light on once and not being concerned about turning it off and save me asking for others to do it too and then wondering how long its been on

Lulu could also fit LED bulbs which would make the power consumption fairly negligible.

Same switches (online though) for a bit less (12 sterling) - if you only need 1, its prob not worth the hassle...
