CC45 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 We have decided that the side a door hinges isn't right - changing the hinge side is easy - what isn't so easy is to move the rooms light switch which will now be behind the door when its opened. I could probably channel the plaster board out and lay some new cable but this is not going to be easy or without consequences so does anyone know if I can put some sort of remote box where the current light switch is and then run a non 240v powered switch where the new switch needs to go. Any thoughts / suggestions are gratefully received. The lights are wired with power at the switch and not the ceiling rose - just in case this is relevant.

Onoff Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Put a Quinetic receiver where the existing switch is. Standard or dimming. You have L&N there coming in then switched live out? You just need L&N into the receiver then from the output, switched live and neutral to your light(s). https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/tcl/search?query=Quinetic+receiver+&Submit=Search Then for your remote switch pick a grid module as close as to your other switches. (Assuming you won't want the big, standard, Quinetic switches): https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Manufacturers/Quinetic/ Edited June 7, 2020 by Onoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So One of these: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/QUR303.html Plus an MK grid + one of these: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/QUGDMK.html What are they like in use? Do they feel the same as a normal switch? Cheers to both @Onoff and @Nickfromwales for replies. Cc44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 See here 3 mins in. Compares ordinary MK grid and Quinetic grid. Not exactly the same feel but you'll have to accept that. Don't forget you can also get a dimmer receiver, a wifi enabled receiver or a wifi + dimmer receiver so you can control from your phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
