Usage Note
Spegnimento is the noun from spegnere (to turn off, to extinguish) and refers to the act of switching off a device, system, or light. In computing it means shutdown (spegnimento del sistema). It is distinct from estinzione (extinction) though spegnere can also mean to extinguish a fire.

"Lo spegnimento automatico avviene dopo dieci minuti."
Natural Translation
