Switch Max Current

[EFLImpudence]

When one is reliant on electronics (and electricity) for functionality (e.g. hotel room door locks, car door locks stc.), one hopes that there is some manual 'bypass' option available, 'just in case'.

I believe the OP already has that but it is too cumbersome.

Like getting off the couch when the remote IR fails.

Not really. Like getting off the couch, grabbing a screwdriver, unscrewing two screws (potentially in the dark), unpacking the back box, flicking a switch, reversing...

From what I understand, it would be like having to get off the couch and find one's toolbox (at least, a screwdriver) if the TV's remote IR fails. I suppose perceptions of 'cumbersome' (or 'inconvenient') will vary.

Kind Regards, John

In such a situation it would seem obvious to me that a screwdriver would be kept on a hook beside the switch.

You and I might (give or take the aesthetics) think like that, but there are millions of people out there who would not be happy taking a screwdriver to 'anything electrical' (albeit a different generation, until her dying day, my grandmother would not touch a light switch, let alone a TV or anything like that - and her daughter {my mother} wasn't a lot better!).
