Can I get some help on finding a wireless light set?

Sep 19, 2006 2 Replies

Hi All,



I am looking for wireless small red light I can activate remotely.



You see, I morning meditate in the living room and want to alert my wife upstairs



to not disturb me until I am done.



I got this idea to turn a little red light on in the bedroom in case she is still



sleeping.



Do you know where I could get such an item? (I have had no luck scouring the web



so maybe not using the right keywords.



Many thanks,



Jim



Hi, Jim. Stop by Radio Shack and then plug your night light with red bulb into the Wireless RF Remote-Control On/Off Switch Catalog #:

61-2667 $9.97 USD.

By far the least expensive, lowest hassle way to do this.

You're lucky to have such a considerate wife. Possibly it's the meditation.

By the way, as a Google Grouper, you might not know it's considered good form to crosspost instead of repeatedly posting to multiple groups. Please take a second to read Google Groups Help Topic "What's good 'netiquette' when posting to Usenet?"

The simplest off-the-shelf would be to use the X10 system, which sends the control signals as low-frequency RF over the power lines. Recommended configuration: X10 lamp module upstairs, with a cord and socket and red Christmas-tree light plugged into it. X10 wired control transmitter downstairs, plugged into any available outlet.

The X10 components are available at Radio Shack, and (under other brand names) from many hardware and electrical stores.
