Morning all.

My customer wants to be able to switch an above basin cupboard light. This is in a bathroom. There is a 230V PL + N available, but unfortunately the light she has does not have a switch, hence trying to find switching options.

She is asking if this wireless receiver is suitable.

I have not fitted anything like this before and just wanted to air my thoughts/questions?

1. Is this set up ok for a bathroom (hidden in the basin cupboard)?
2. Can the switch be located in the bathroom, outside of the zones. I can't see why not as it is ELV.
3. Are there better options? Perhaps utilising the existing 230V and using this

Thanks all.
 
I've used Those on few occasions and they seems fine. Relatively small receiver so could hide it in light fitting itself if big enough. Ip66 rated switch so no problem for bathroom. Seems quite similar to one from your link
 
when we finally get to inventing sockets that don't require fixed wiring, we''ll all be on the dole.
