We want to install some lighting in a summer house and it seems to us that some sort of remote wireless switching would make sense as the switches are going to be a *long* way from the lights and it will be difficult to hide the wires.
There is a 'proper' mains supply already installed with a sub-CU with
6A breaker for the lighting. (With an RCD main switch). The lights we want to control will probably mostly be 12 volt LEDs with a transformer to supply them.I did a quick Google Shopping look for 'wireless light switch' and there seem to be a bewildering variety of them, how do I choose?
Are there standards such that different makes will interwork or is that a faint hope? I'm quite happy to D-I-Y from quite low level stuff if that makes sense from the price/function point of view. I buy and build quite a lot of electronics stuff from Rapid Recall, CPC, etc.
One set of lights will (probably) be operated by a fixed 'switch' on the wall in the summer house but others might want more distant (50 to
100 metres maybe) operation with a plip type remote.Any/all recommendations and ideas would be very welcome.
