Well, there are these, which work on 12 V or between 3.6 V and 24 V, with a claimed range of at least 50 m...

While I am sorry to write it, if you do not know that which you are attempting to do, perhaps you should.

You really need to understand that which is "going on" with your "Multi Location Switching" (usually called "Multi Way Switching".) Please see "More than two locations" in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

This is the first time that I have seen the term "granny charging". I now see that it is associated with "Charging" an Electric Vehicle from a "normal" Socket-Outlet, whatever that may be in the country concerned. Of course, this is all that one would need, for day-to-day travelling in an an...

It was a comment relating to attaching items to overhead "Service Cables". There has been a comment that this could be useful to deter Squirrels in the UK !

In Australia, it is "common practice" (to deter possums from traveling to ones roof ) to slit one or more thin plastic "water bottle(s)" down one side and to the center of the base and fit that/those over the incoming overhead cable - well away from the entry point. While a possum can grip the...

Arc Fault Detection Devices are now required in the US (and Canada [?]) on circuits which feed Socket Outlets in Bedrooms (among other locations). The main reason for requiring AFDDs in such situations is ostensibly the possibility of an Arc Fault in an Electric Blanket. However, I strongly...

Technick21. You REALLY do need to understand that which is "going on" - with your PIR "Motion Detector". It is supplied with 230 V AC (via a Line and Neutral conductor) and switches the "Line Conductor" to a "Switched Line" Conductor, when required. Black from the device (in this case) to...

Let's hope that the wiring is new switch is connected "appropriately". There are 24 possible combinations but only 12 will work correctly. Perhaps the OP should be advised to review https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching with regard to "More than two locations" in that document.

From the specifications given, 50 W at 120 Lumens/Watt is 6000 Lumens. Please consider that an "Old Fashioned" 60 W incandescent "Bulb" gave off about 810 Lumens and a 100 W Incandescent "Bulb" gave off (about) 1200 Lumens. Hence, (if the specifications are accurate) each of these Luminaires...

In spite of that which others have written, you might as well go to the "source" for such devices, which are unlikely to be "manufactured" in the UK - or Europe ! For example, https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-video-doorbell.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.auto_suggest.1.24953a19ZtdwJw...

Whether they are compulsory or not, it would be a "Good Idea" to fit appropriate Surge Protection Devices at the CU of any installation. The following installation (for a Two Bedroom Australian house) has two "Over Voltage Arrestors" - of different "capacities" - along with the RCBOs and MCBs...

As indicated in the Wikipedia article, there are now many different varieties of Tim Tams. I prefer the Dark Chocolate over the "Original".

While Hob Nobs are sold in Australian supermarkets...

Please explain.
