I have had some good results with LED lighting and remote control switches recently.
I have a big shed which had these old style industrial lights up in the roof.
They sure provided good light, and I suppose were once the go-to item, but... they expend 1500w; take a minute to full brightness; if you turn them off, you can't turn them back on for several minutes. Plus there 6 of them on one circuit so all on or all off, and 6 of them cost quite a bit to run!
As they were all plugged into GPOs on the rafters, I installed HPM remote controlled switches, at great effort, all of which were fritzed permanently when I turned the lights on .
I have now installed LED flood lights as per the photo. I am very pleased with them. the 3 wings are moveable, and the fittings have fairly good spread. They provide similar light to the old fittings, with 1/20th of the power consumption.
I have also used the remote control power points as shown. They plug into a GPO and have a socket on the front. Oddly, while the remote control if 4 channel, they come in a pack of 1x remote and 3x adapters. Any particular adapter can be linked to one or more of each 4 channels, so you can set them up in groups. Then simply cleared and reassigned. They are scaleable so any number of these adapters can be used with one remote, or multiple remotes can control any adapter. For $40 a pack I reckon they are great value, and they work really well.
Just thought I would share this in case it assists anyone with lighting their own spaces.
