http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/our-offers-249 ... l&id=39222

Useful for turning dust extraction on/off

Cheers

These are in the Finnish Lidls now; I've just got myself a set and have been using it for this purpose already this evening

JPA what amperage can they handle? Some of these aren't able to do much more than control lamps.

I've just had a look and on the back of the box it says that the switching capacity is 3680W. I bought mine yesterday; one is now on my 1.5kW chip extractor, and the other on a 1.3kW 'shop vac' so well within capacity for my use, anyway - and according to my (notoriously poor) maths, well within the capacity of a UK 13A plugged appliance.

Brilliant, cheers jpa!

I would buy these with the added VAT rather than camp out at Lidil : https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/SK350113.html I already use one on my extractor and have been for about a year now, so the 10amp capacity is fine for that application.

I got some of these previously and a huge advantage they have over others I have is that they do not lose their link to the handset after a powercut. I have a load of the status ones on lights etc above and behind cabinets. after a power cut they had to manually relinked to the controller, a right pain. The lidl ones dont have that problem.

I guess this only has one remote? Does it say whether additional remotes are available?

I've just bought 2 sets......brilliant little gizmo

The manual said you can train multiple remotes to operate the same appliance. However, can you buy the remotes separately is a question for Lidl I suspect.

 

[geoffshep]

Yes, I might have to get 2 sets - I was thinking of having a couple of sockets in the garage and a couple in the house - 2 remotes would be the answer for that I think.

As long as you don't switch on the food processor from the garage.
