Sorry about the length of this...

I am going to be wiring a conservatory (dwarf walls all round) and have a little problem with the lighting.

They want wall lights to go on pillars which are either side of the french doors, these doors are on the side of the conservatory furthest away from the house. They also want some lighting for the garden on the outside of the pillars.

Now the problem is that it is going to be a right pain in the @?$* to get switched power over to these lights, so my thoughts were to spur off the socket circuit via a fused spur to the lights and use some remote switching, but I want to be able to use the same style of swithces as the sockets, I also don't really want to have a remote control (like a TV controller). Getting power to the switch position will not be a problem..

So what I am wondering is, does anyone know of a product that can sort this for me??
 
I don't have names offhand but i'm sure I have seen transmitter modules for remote switching that are designed to be mounted behind a standard lightswitch and controlled by it.
