It is not a room light, it gives some permanent light to the very dark
drive.


Why do you need a light there anyway ?
I sometimes put the kitchen light on so my cat can see her food.



What is the advantage of having remortly
controlled bright ones ?


It was a matter of avoiding running cables to switches and disturbing
decoration. It is quite dark around here and we have a large garden,
backing onto nothingness, which is a slight security risk. I have three
lights lighting that up, fed from a single socket upstairs. I use a
wireless remote control socket, the remote control is kept in the
living room.


So is this a manual remote or does it dectect movemtment and switch the lights on.


I set that up after we had prowlers a few years ago.
