Infrared controllers for lighting

Former Community Member

Morning Chaps and Chapesses, 


Has anyone had any experience with infrared lighting controls? I've seen the downlights you can get with a remote control, but this situation is different. The lighting in the space is LED strip recessed in the ceiling coffers, and the client has no mobility so would be turning the lighting on and off with a remote that they also use for other things. Thing is the lighting also needs to be operation by a switch for the other people in the house, and in some rooms they would like it dimmable. Would love to hear if anyone has done something similar.

    They will have difficulty when they try and change the channel on the telly with the remote, as I do when I try and answer the phone with the the remote up against my ear.


    My dad who is 93 has an Alexa, but I have resisted connecting lighting to it, he needs the exercise of going to the switch particularly during lockdown.




    Yes I was surprised it was in IR output to be honest. Client can't speak so Alexa isn't an option, they can't move at all so basically control this remote by moving their eyes and focusing on a section of the screen. It's pretty niche and I appreciate everyone's suggestions, I'll be having a good read up over the weekend!
