Infrared controllers for lighting

Former Community Member
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.

    The Plumis domestic fire suppression systems which mist rooms with water are operated using Aico heat alarms, typical applications are where there’s a bedroom loft conversion and the escape route takes you down and out through a sitting room and/or kitchen.

    The Aico alarms in my dads flat are linked to a call centre through the combined door entry and the pull cord request for assistance system, if he burns something in the kitchen and sets the heat and smoke alarms off the call centre speak to him over the intercom to determine if they need to call the emergency services  or not. As yet they have not had to call the fire brigade, but have sent an ambulance several times and let the ambulance crew in by opening the floors from the call centre. The alarm system within the flats are stand alone, then there’s a whole building alarm system with a heat detector in the entrance hallway of each flat to evacuate the building if there’s a fire in the flat that may burn through the flat entrance fire door.


    You can do the Aico courses online, book them through the link on their website. The Aico alarms can be part of quite elaborate system with relays to operate all sorts of equipment, they are nothing like the two for fifteen quid standalone  battery only alarms that landlords and letting agents seem to think it okay to put in privately rented homes, because that’s the minimum standard in England.
