Hello,
I have multiple battery operated night lights in a single room.
They all run on 3 x AA batteries (1.5v each).
What I want to do is have them come on using an infrared device much like a TV remote.
Ultimately what would be even better is if I can program 1 button to turn them all on at the same time.
I have seen a 6v DC device on ebay that comes with 12 receivers and a remote with 12 buttons.
1. This is probably a stupid question, but will the 3 AA's (4.5v) actually be enough power for the IR to work or is there a lower powered IR receiver that I need to use?
2. Is it possible to program all of these IR receivers to work off the one button or must I program only one receiver to one button?
I can put up the link to the ebay product if required. Not sure if the rules permit this.
Looking forward to your help.
Bill
