Remote Control of Lights via CB radio signal ??
Install a "clapper" by your CB base unit at home. wire it to the light
and make it switchable.leave the house and Key up from accross the valley and Clap a couple of times....................LOL I know it sounds as rediculous as anything else..........but this is a strange request already. This should be a cheap solution. I can;t believe I'm even posting a reply to your odd request, but this came to mind almost instantly when you explained your desire.

You will have already set up and pre-tested the X10 telephone responder. Control it by dialing in from your observation site with a cell phone. Want an even cheaper solution? Radio Shack also makes a telephone "ringer" device that will flash a lamp when somebody calls. http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...%5Fid=940-1628 Beachcomber |

I appreciate this novel idea, but it does not reach the stated goal of the
project. I wish to control my DECK FLOODS remotely, with a CB RADIO signal. No telephones, no clapper, no timer, no separate spotlight. I am sure there is a way that this can be done, and I am getting some good ideas, which I appreciate. But, most replies don't explain how to reach "my" goal as stated above. Thanks again !! --James-- -------------------------------- Forget the Clapper - It's junk.

narrowing down the possibilities,
in the absence of using the aforementioned multiple gigawatt rated linear amplifier to light your lights, you're gonna have to have some form of reciever to convert the signal you transmit on a cb frequency into a form some kind of switch can be activated with by the receiver,,,and you rejected the sound activated switch (clapper) the other poster mentioned so what's left?
