wireless switches

Does anyone know of wireless switches ?

A few years ago me and the mrs went to the ideal homes show, I saw a product there which was a small transmitter 9v powered which you could fit into a switch, then there was a 240v reciever which you could place into the light fitting you wanted it to switch, trouble is I lost the info and have never seen owt like it since. Anyone else seen it or know of a similar product ? ta muchly

SensorMech have a range of radio wireless switches that work from a module that fits into a regular light switch

I would recommend going for the X10 system as it's easy to add new things to. I have the modules installed on my dimmable light switch, my outside light, lava lamps in the living room. I have the ceiling light and the bedside lamps connected to the same system in the master bedroom and I have the kettle connected to one in the kitchen. When I see the funny advert thing in the top corner of the TV, one press of my remote control and hey presto, the kettle turns on. No more getting up and standing there while it boils. You can get the modules and everything from www.letsautomate.com
I also have the alarm clock on the same system so at 8am, the alarm goes off and sends the signal for the kettle to switch on. By the time I get downstairs, it's already boiled.
