Remote Control Operator

Enhancing remote controlled lighting

Published in issue 347, October 2005

Remote Control Operator
Remote controlled light switches are becoming more and more common. DIY stores have inexpensive sets consisting of several light switches and a remote control unit. It's then easy to control everything from your armchair. But how can you control the lighting when you're away, as a deterrent to burglars? With the help of this little circuit that is no longer a problem.
