Remote control for track light

[John120/240]

Do you have any recomendations how to remote control track lights ? Something that will

fit in a 4" round metal box. Thank You in advance.

Use an add on remote for a ceiling fan.

Is there a switch that operates the track? If so Lutron makes a couple of systems that would work.

If there is not a switch Leviton has the LevNet RF system.

Look at the SLT - switch leg transmitter.

Sorry, gave you wrong info, I think in the LevNet line you need the 3 wire relay receiver (WSP05) not the SLT.

Hope that helps.

Could you install a ceiling fan remote in a cabinet below the track lighting?

Could you install a ceiling fan remote in a cabinet below the track lighting?

Watch the max wattage on fan remotes, most are 300watt.
Also most have a working range of 20' - 30' line of sight, so a cabinet door many cut the range down.

Maybe more info would help us.
How many lamps?
What type lamp, cfl, led, halogen, incandescent?

If you can mount the remote receiver in a cabinet, could you not just cut in a switch/dimmer above the cabinet?

The track is lighting for an outdoor kitchen, There will be about 10 ft of track on both sides of the kitchen. Probably 4 or 5 lights in each run. Probably LED bulbs equivalent to 65 watt spots. There is not a good place to mount the switch, so we are thinking remote controlled, the remote would be used within 10 ft of the remote and mounting it down inside the cabinet would solve several problems if it would work.

Thinking about using an air switch. Location would be outdoors on a deck, under roof.

Either in the granite counter top or granite back splash. Any comments Pro or Con.

An air switch will likely be much more reliable for the long haul.
