Ive got a hookup in our condo ceiling for a light, but unfortunatly
there is no switch for the power. It is always on, and it would not be
easy to add a wall switch to the line. Ive been looking for something
that would allow me to control the light wirelessly.

I know x10 is available, but then I would have to place an x10 reciever
in the light fixture (http://www.smarthome.com/2250.html or
http://www.x10.com/automation/lm15a_s.html), plus a transmitter in an
outlet on the same line.

It would be far more practical if they have a device that could sit in
the ceiling and receive wireless signals to turn on/off, instead of
using an x10 transmitter and reciever.
Anyone know of devices that could work?

The box stores carry just what you are asking for. Both my fans with lights
work by remote control. 25-----60 bucks

I checked out the fan controllers, but the ones I saw required a large
adapter to be installed. Too large for the space available in our case,
and I didnt really want to have such a large remote control when all I
needed was on/off.

I was able to find an adapter at Rona that you screw your light bulb
into, and then screw it into your fixture. You can then use any
household remote to turn the light on/off and even dim it. Cost was
around $30. I forget the name though
