Hi guys,
Bare with me, hope this makes sense....
I have 3 separate mains (240v) lighting circuits in my kitchen all going back to a 3 way 1G wall switch plate. 1st switch operates 1 set of ceiling LED's, 2nd switch operates single ceiling light over table, the 3rd switch operates downlights on kitchen cupboards that are 240v in/12v out to the LED lights via a transformer.
Issue I have is there is another cabinet other side of the room that I want the same LED downlighter on but I don't have any way off linking it to the same lighting feed to the others as it would mean ripping upstairs floor up or holes in ceiling to route the cable.
So, I am wondering, is there a wireless 240v transmitter & receiver option I could use whereby the transmitter is wired onto the LED downlighter connection that goes into the transformer that powers the LED downlighters off of the 3rd switch currently & then fit a paired receiver on the standalone cabinet wiring so that when I switch the 3rd stitch LED downlight circuit the RF transmitter signals the RF receiver on the standalone cabinet downlight point & switches it on/off? I can get 240v/down to 12v to the standalone cabinet point where the RF receiver would be wired with the new LED downlight, just don't seem to be able to find the right brand/model of transmitter & receiver to use for it or even if such a solution exists?
Hope this makes sense, any help very gratefully received, thanks.

The Salus RF mains switch is exactly the thing for the job based upon my specific wiring & requirements to conceal the transmitter/receiver modules either end. I am going down this route. Thanks again for helping me with the advice, much appreciated.
