    Hi,

    I need to put in an extra light switch in my hallway . It turns on and off four GU10 recess lights in the ceiling. The switch that turns them on and off at the moment is not in a good location for us.

    I don't want to run new wires so is there a wireless switch available that can work in conjunction with the existing switch?

    I know there are wireless switches available I just don't know if will work together with the existing switches.

    Any info would be great.

    I am not an electrician but I would guess that the above wireless switch (or similar) would work fine once your current switch is turned on always. Or perhaps you could put the wireless receiver in place of the old switch.

    Would you think about fitting a pir? Or replace them with led lights then just leave them on longer.
