Hi.

I'm hoping someone can recommend a touch or sensor light for the bedroom. My mum has difficultly finding a switch these days so ends up banging into things when getting up in the night.

I did a bit of research but unfortunately I haven't managed to find anything suitable. It would have to be a strictly on/off one - (not one of those where you have to touch it 3 times and scroll through the light settings - as that would be too confusing and counter productive). Also one that doesn't get hot for obvious reasons.

Might be better with a sensor one - trying to weigh up the pros and cons of this. Only managed to find the outdoor (really really bright) ones on a visit down town.

Thanks for any help and advice.

If you want the room light to be controlled you could replace the existing switch with something like >>>THIS<<<

If it is a table lamp you could wire the lamp through the above switch mounted in something like >>>THIS<<<, maybe screwed to a surface.

Above are examples, you can get different colours/finishes, there are other suppliers, for the second item you could go to B&Q, I find the TLC site more user friendly than B&Q!!!

EDIT
This much cheaper one comes complete with a remote control fob.
Don't know if the main switch glows the dark like the other.

I used a kiddie night light, one that senses dawn and dusk, its on all the time but not really bright, but bright enough to see around the room.
