Remote switch for ceiling lights?

Hi all

I am looking for some recommendation on what kind of products I could use to be able to individually control two light points (ceiling roses) that are currently connected on the same circuit.

To explain the setup a bit - we have in our living room a circuit with two lights on ceiling roses that are both two-way switched from two simple switches at the two ends of the room. That is, each of the switches turns _both_ lights on or off at the same time. I would like to be able to switch on or off each of the lights individually.

Any rewiring is out of the question as there is no access behind the ceiling. What I am looking for would be some kind of remote switches that I could embed into the light fittings, and the smaller the better... I have seen the HomeEasy range, but their bulbs and ceiling roses are too big - I would prefer something that could be encased into a spotlight track base.

Does anybody know of a product that could do that? Or any other ways to operate the two lights separately without major rewiring?

Re: Remote switch for ceiling lights?

Rako is the ideal solution. They have dimmers that fit inside a back box, ot behind a rose that can split the 2 lights into seperate cicuits

Other option could be Varilight dimmer switch and slaves
