was tempted by one of those 'no wires remote control light switches'
made by 'home easy' whilst in B&Q yesterday, but can't find any info
on how long the lithium battery lasts.. any one know ?
Are we talking months and months presumably ?

Do you mean in the remote control? The switch itself has presumably access
to mains so shouldn't need a battery.

I have the Domia Lite which uses (IIRC) a CR2032 button-type lithum cell
in its remote. I think that is now a couple of years and counting. I'd
anticipate (in the way we use it) at least four years and maybe much longer.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

It is bad enought trying to find the remotes for the TV equipment in our
house, not being able to turn on the lights to find a remote would
definitely be an additional source of irritation!

no, the is one of those inventions that would have had the the Dragons
Den investors slathering all over it, it's a stick on light switch
that looks like a normal light switch.

thanks, that's what I wanted to know ! Presumably there would have
been space to put an AA battery in the design if required, come to
think about it.

Good. I know when I bought mine, I noticed some other makes used a 123A
- which looks like a slightly shrunken AA. I preferred to go with
something that used a cell that we already need for other purposes.

I bought a touch dimmer (MK) which has a remote facility - you 'teach' it to
respond to any unused button on an existing remote if you don't want to buy
the one that is recommended.

They tend to have the life of a battery which has not been fitted, or
in other words the shelf life of the battery.
