was tempted by one of those 'no wires remote control light switches'
made by 'home easy' whilst in B&Q yesterday, but can't find any info
on how long the lithium battery lasts.. any one know ?
Are we talking months and months presumably ?

It is bad enought trying to find the remotes for the TV equipment in our
house, not being able to turn on the lights to find a remote would
definitely be an additional source of irritation!


no, the is one of those inventions that would have had the the Dragons
Den investors slathering all over it, it's a stick on light switch
that looks like a normal light switch.

I bought a touch dimmer (MK) which has a remote facility - you 'teach' it to
respond to any unused button on an existing remote if you don't want to buy
the one that is recommended.
