It is now 2 pm. The timer is set to turn on at 3 pm. As in stands now, when 3pm. comes the light won't go on because the switch on the lamp was not turned on. If at any time before the timer comes on, one turns the switch on the lamp on, is he doing a Melacha, even though the lamp does not turn on now, but he causes that it can turn on later? (I know the lamp is Muktzeh, the question only on causing the light to come on). Meyer Steinberg
