I’m an avid reader, and normally curl up in bed at the end of a long day with a book.  However, since I’ve  been in my current flat, I’ve had a bit of a problem, as I don’t like to leave a light on while I’m sleeping.

So, seeing as my bed is at the opposite end of the room than my light switch, and I also tend to sleep on the side furthest from the light switch, my night-time habit would be something like this:-

• Turn on light
• Walk to other side of room.
• Walk round bed
• Turn on bedside lamp
• Walk back around bed
• Walk back to light switch
• Turn off light
• Walk back to bed, and around it
• Get into bed
• Read
• Turn off bedside lamp
• Sleep

Not exactly good when you’ve had a hard days work, and just want to curl up and read a book until you fall asleep.

On Wednesday however, I stumbled across a range of products on the net, and ordered a remote control light switch, and also a remote to go with it. My bedtime arrangements are now:-

• Turn on light
• Walk to bed
• Get into bed
• Read
• Turn off light with remote control
• Sleep

A lot more easier!

Have been playing with the remote from my office, and I think that if I were to order more switches, I’d be able to turn on/off all the lights in my flat from my desk.

Another neat feature about these lights? They can be programmed to use any button on any remote control!

Oh, and also, The Birmingham Jam is going pretty well!
