Default Remote dimmer switch?

If this was in the centre / ceiling light in a bedroom, would you
consider it bright enough on it's own for say hoovering or reading
etc?


I'd say just about,


Ok and thanks.

but brightness required is pretty much a matter of
opinion/lumens.


Understood. But given an average room with a given source of
illumination, you know when it's 'not very bright'. ;-)

Anyway, what I was talking about:

Yes, I found it after you mentioned it Rob and have already forwarded
that info, with floor standing uplighter to daughter (carer for her
half-sister) and she likes it:

I thought that combo would be a good compromise as it could take over
as the main light when she was in there on her own so she could then
control the brightness to suit her personal needs.

That still leaves use with the option of a std dimmer in the wall
switch as 'they' can still turn the light on / off easily if required.

I may have to go and get it because whilst the delivery could be good,
we don't know what time we actually have to help.

Cheers, T i m

ps Whilst I could convert the current BC to ES for the ceiling light,
if it was turned off at the wall, she couldn't turn it on from the bed
etc.
