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


Well, if pushed, I'd say pretty bright - at least 60W incandescent
equivalent. And I like the relatively warm white - but not all do.

I agree when you want comfortable illumination rather than just light.

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.


There might be a way to convince 2 switches to control one light - not
sure I'm afraid, and you could be getting into the realm of one of their
hubs. As it is is, it works out the box without any need for anything else.

Understood.

I bought it as a toy, to see if I could integrate it into other similar
standard lights I have dotted about the house. I did get it working
(some excellent community resources), but it lost the connection and I
haven't got round to figuring out why. Still works with the original
puck though.

Ok (and good to know that way is 'durable'). ;-)

Just one thing - it's not the last word in granular adjustment. The puck
thing, while quite durable and an interesting design (it can be wall
mounted, like a switch), relies on something gravity/centrifuge driven,
and at least for me proves a little tricky to achieve fine adjustments.

I'm not sure that would be an issue under our circumstances Rob. ATM
she's just got on/off so anything in between would probably be
welcomed.

Also, the puck needs a battery - not sure how long they last, and I'd
imagine it'd need pairing again at each change.

Ok.

But for the money, might be worth a try. At worst they'll have an LED
bulb :-)

Well, that was the thought. It's just a matter of who is going down
there and when (probably me and 'as soon as you can').

Is Ikea dog friendly?
