I just moved into a new apartment, and found that one of the rooms

I'm trying to think of ways to light the room. I'm not crazy about
someone having to walk across the room to turn on a lamp, especially as
there's going to be a lot of stuff in the room.

My best idea so far is of a lamp with "The Clapper". There's gotta be a
better solution.

Any suggestions? I'm pretty handy, but this is a rental apt (largely
knob and tube!) and I'm not going to get too crazy.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, poking into the world of fan remotes revealed the related wide
world of remote light switches, including those that sit in the wall
and look like a real light switch (like the second link above) and the
kind that are more like a tv remote but often have a bracket so that
you can stash them on the wall near the door when you don't want to
lose them like you always lose the damn tv remote.
