Hi,
In a new extension, I want to have several Floor and Table lamps but to control them all from wall switches at the same point as the Ceiling lights.
[i.e. I don't want to use a separate, Remote Controller, that will no-doubt be misplaced].
I'm not saying they need to be switches precisely with the Ceiling lights (they'd be on totally different circuits), but at least I want the switches co-located (i.e. right next door to one another).
I'd also (ideally) like quite a bit of flexibility, so that I've a switch for turning all the Floor lamps on in a single go, or I can switch some on/off at a time. Also, ideally, some may need to be dimmable.
Again, I do not want to do this from a separate 'Remote Controller', or from my phone! I want to do it from (albeit separate) wall-mounted switches.
I appreciate that this may mean a large bank of switches on the wall, but I'm happy with that.
Cost is also a significant factor.
Can anyone suggest a suitable solution or products?
I'm not sure if Bluetooth-based technology would have the required range (4-5m max from the Floor lamps to the (proposed) Wall-Mounted Switches?
Are there Ultra-sound based technologies?
Or would it have to be WiFi-based technology stuff? I'm guess that's a lot more expensive.
Thanks in anticipation,
Ezio
