Hi,

I'm not an electrician and am after an electrician to do the work for me in N.London. However, I need an idea of actually what to ask for.

I called out one electrician who was highly recommended, but had no idea about any of this stuff.

1. Light Switch on Wrong Side of Door

We have a light switch on the wrong side of a door opening. To move it will be a lot, potentially too much work. The thought is to relocate the light switch by using some sort of remote controlled switch.

The switch needs to be a dimmer and to operate 4 x 7w LED GU10 bulbs (JCC's)

Anyone know of a decent switch that might do the job?


2. Linking 3 light switches

We have 3 Two-Way light switch circuits for each of the three stairways on each storey of the property. There is a switch at the bottom and at the top of each stairway. One of these switches is a dimmer.


We would like to control all three of these circuits at the same time, as well as individually. They would all need to be dimmable as well.



Thanks
R

Automation is feasible but not cheap. As others have said it might be cheaper to go the conventional wiring route unless you wish to automate your home.
