[the_m0ney]

HI I have been looking for a remote control light switch aswell as a way on turning off a table a lamp via a remote like a llogitech and was wondering if some could recomend what to get i was thinking mayb a lurton light swith but not sure

[owain_thomas]

have a look at Rako kit - highly recommended

Lutron do a little wall plate dimmer called the Rania with can do two circuits and is IR controlled. But their Solina (table lamp dimmer) doesnt have IR control.

However a rako keypad can trigger both ceiling lights and table lamp style dimmers and they offer a IR to Rako RF converter for you to use your learning remote with, but it aint cheap.

For something in the middle, control of everything but not with IR look at GET Smart Lighting.

If you have a HArmony 895 or 1000 look for Z-wave lighting control

Jus looking on the harmony site i like the look of the 1000 but it says it only has zwave wireless not lighting will it still work

Should do, Z-Wave is a wireless communication system, so it doesnt really matter what it is talking
to.

All you need to do now is wait until the switches finally arrive here in the UK. It has only taken a couple of years so far!!!
