Hi Folks
A while back I reversed a door and now the switch is behind it. I've been looking for a wireless device that will enable me to mount a switch with a transmitter in it and install a receiver unit where the old switch is. I came across something that would do what I want (I think!)
Does anyone know where I can get one of these devices in the UK from.
Cheers

Do you have a neutral connection at the old switch? I suspect that that American device (and any UK equivalent) would need one.

I've been looking for something like this recently. Found a few options but none that are quite what I'm after.
B&Q have a couple of ranges - one by GET that has a remote dimmer (although controlled by a remote - not a normal looking switch). This looks suspiciously similar to the wickes own branded one (the wickes one is half the price...)
The other solution is has a switch that you mount somewhere, and a unit that you hide in the back of the normal switch. They also have a unit that you hide above the ceiling (or, a replacement rose). This is probably closer to what you are after.
Have a look at
More info and a forum if you have questions at
Oh, one thing that might be an issue - a lot of these can't be used with CFL lamps if that is a problem. They allow a small amount of current to leak through the bulb to power themselves as there isn't (usually) a neutral at the switch. Also, many of them are dimmers so wouldn't work anyway.

Would this pair do?
Other devices are available in the range - e.g. dimmers.

Excellent, thanks to all of you for taking the time posting, one of these will do the trick.
