Re: Additional light switches 13Feb 20, 2009 9:51 pm grace_slick Sorry to butt in, but is it equally difficult or easy to install an additional power point? I would think power points are easier, because all you would need is a source of power - so long as you could tie in from somewhere you would be ok. Light switches require a specific power line to connect to the light. If that's not available then you would be up the creek with out a paddle... Re: Additional light switches 15Feb 21, 2009 4:30 pm Power and lights must be on their respective circuits. You can't put a power point on a light circuit and vice versa.
Grace slick. without seeing it, I can't say. If there is a cavity behind the brick then your halfway there. If there is roof access then your almost there. But then if you disparate, you can have surface mount ducting. Licenced Sparky and Data Cabler If "The Data Guys" is too long to type, TDG will do. Re: Additional light switches 16Feb 26, 2009 6:13 pm Hmm, well, there's definitely no ceiling access as we're on the ground floor in an apartment block. We've got fairly low ceilings too here.
I like the pull cord from the ceiling idea. lol. So would my 2 kittens. How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing! Re: Additional light switches 17Feb 26, 2009 6:38 pm grace_slick Anyone heard of battery operated nice lamps? lol Look what I found........ http://www.neoz.com.au//docs/NEOZ%20V4% ... ochure.pdf Neat idea - might have to look into those if I've missed anything off my electrical plan! Re: Additional light switches 18Feb 28, 2009 11:20 pm I was talking to someone about this last week, he has installed remote light switches for his extra downlights.
The remote relay is a small box that goes in the ceiling between the live power and the light. This is controlled with a switch much like a garage door opener, all programmable so one remote switch can control more than one switch. The part I liked is that you don't have to have lots of switches on the wall for lights you don't use a lot. When you need them you just use the remote switch. We will be looking into these in the next few months after moving into our own place.
