Remote control can reduce the cost and greatly simplify the installation of power in the garden. It means that power to run garden lighting or pond equipment can be taken from anywhere in the house, garage or outbuildings, cutting the labour and materials required to run switch wires back to different areas of the property. It also dispenses with the need to chase-out internal walls and fit switches, as each garden circuit can be controlled from the convenient portable handset.

Versatile and extremely rugged, the Touch-Logic remote control from Light Symphony is the Range Rover of the remote control world, and is a cost effective way of controlling low-voltage lighting and pond pumps around the garden. It is best to start with the basic kit, and then add any of the Touch-Logic products. With its 1km range and 2kw load (1kw each zone, dimming option on zone 1), it is powerful enough for all applications, large or small. The timer & signal booster allow you to set your lights to turn on and off at a given time or at dusk, extending your enjoyment of the garden, as well as ensuring added security when you are not at home. The unit can be switched by a number of different methods, including hand-held remote control, wireless wall switch, PIR, touch-screen wireless wall switch or even your Apple iPhone or iPod Touch. This dispenses with the need to chase out internal walls for traditional switches, thereby saving labour, reducing costs as well as minimising mess and disturbance.

This rugged two-channel remote control has a range of up to 150m and offers very good value for money. The receiver is mounted in a tough waterproof (IP68) ABS enclosure, and can be easily wired (via our standard junction box) to switch two circuits in the garden. Four and eight button handsets are available, enabling you to position a number of receivers around the garden to switch multiple circuits; please ask for more details.

To help you make your selection, we have put together three kits made up of the most popular options. These are best used as the foundation of your remote control system, to which you can add other products in the Touch-Logic range. Each kit includes a rugged IP66 rated, 2-channel wireless receiver, together with a combination of a hand-held switch, wall switch or touch-screen panel to suit your requirements. Larger systems can be built simply by adding more lighting controllers and the wireless flexibility often reduces and simplifies the cable installation for the electrician.

The standard Touch-Logic 2-channel receiver has two switched outputs, each individually fused and rated at 1kw. One of these outputs is dimmable, which provides a 'soft on/soft off' feature for a pleasing visual effect and increased lamp life for your fittings. A clever innovation of the Light Symphony system is its unique 'lid-on' programming. This prevents any of the internal circuitry being exposed to the elements as well as greatly speeding up the installation process. A simple double tap to the outside of the lid activates the internal sensors in the receiver, so that any of the switches can be quickly and easily programmed to either of the outputs.

The touch-screen wireless panel is the unique component of the Light Symphony system, providing a simple and sophisticated interface that is very user-friendly and easy to view. Place a plan (or photograph) of your garden behind the screen then program the buttons to any point on the surface by simply touching the screen. With a 1km range, and up to thirty touch buttons in three different sizes, it is more than capable of controlling even the largest garden. The wireless panel, which can be used in either landscape or portrait formats, is designed to be wall-mounted and can also be seamlessly integrated using the optional flush-mounting enclosure for a professional finish.

The Touch-Logic 9-channel remote control can be set up to switch any number of 2-channel wireless receivers. The 9-channels give you the option of programming separate areas, allowing you to dim them up or down and even control scene settings. It has a clear, easy to read keypad and a rugged IP44 (splash-proof) enclosure. With its 1km range, it is ideal for outdoor use.

The wireless wall switch provides the convenience of a standard wall switch without the mess of installation. With a 1km range and powered by standard AAA batteries (batteries included), each switch can be easily programmed to control the whole garden or individual zones as required. It is supplied with a 20mm deep white surface box as standard, but can also be installed into any 1 to 4 gang wall plate to suit you decor.

The Touch-Logic wireless PIRs are designed to be mains-powered to eliminate the risk of call-backs due to flat batteries. As the signal is wireless, it can therefore be mounted anywhere round the house or garden without the need of a switch cable. With its 1-30 minute timer and adjustable sensitivity, it is ideally suited to automatic garden or security lighting. This IP55-rated PIR is cleverly designed to avoid overriding the user control even when the lights have been switched on manually, and likewise a triggered PIR will not switch them off again - a common problem with other systems.

The Touch-Logic timer and signal booster is an optional addition to your remote control system and includes a ‘repeater’, which echoes commands received from any of the controllers in the garden. Up to five repeaters may be used together, each with a 1km range to give the Touch-Logic system up to 5km range and the capacity to scale up to any size of project. The built-in battery-protected clock provides six separate timers, which automatically adjust to dusk and dawn throughout the year, and can be used in conjunction with the integrated dusk sensor to switch different circuits on or off at any given time to provide added flexibility and security to your home. It also has a lighting show signal to create varied lighting effects and scenes in your garden, as well as a serial port for connection to a third party home automation system, such as Lutron’s GRAFIC Eye. A Wi-Fi version is also available, which allows control up to 100m from the base station using an Apple iPhone or iPod Touch, loaded with the free ‘iSymphony’ application.

The Touch-Logic signal repeater can perform two separate functions. The first is to interface with your electric gates or other sensors to provide automatic lights when your gates are opened. Adjustable from 1–30 minutes, it also has a built-in dusk sensor to prevent your lights being triggered during the day. The second is to echo commands received from any Light Symphony wireless transmitter and extend the range by an additional 1km. A maximum of five repeaters can be used together to extend the range up to a massive 5km.

The Oase FM master is the ideal product to provide power for pond pumps, filtration, garden lighting and other applications, all controlled by a simple remote control handset (with a range of up to 80m). Use the permanent current outlets for lawnmowers and hedge trimmers or for running a filtration system. The remote switched outlets are ideal for controlling garden lighting, water features and fountains, while the dimming function can be used to increase or decrease the flow on any Oase pump with an asynchronous motor. With a built-in ground mounting spike, the FM master is quick and easy to install.

These new WiseBox multi-channel remote controls reduce the cost and greatly simplify the installation of power in the garden. This means that power to run garden lighting, pond equipment and even electric gates can be taken from anywhere in the house, garage or outbuildings, while cutting the labour and materials required to run switch wires back to different areas of the property. The WiseBox system also dispenses with the need to chase out internal walls and fit switches, as each garden circuit can be controlled from the convenient portable handsets or wireless wall switches.

WiseBox kits are the easy way to buy a remote control with everything you need for a typical system all in one pack. They come complete with a 4-channel receiver, 4-channel keyfob and 4-channel wireless interior wall switch. The WiseDim kits have a 7- rather than 4-channel wireless wall switch, and the PIR kits have the addition of an IP44 exterior rated PIR. The standard WiseBox receiver has four 10 amp channels, and is built for outdoor use with its tough IP54 enclosure.

The standard WiseBox receiver has four 10 amp channels which are all fused individually to protect the circuits. The WiseDim receiver has four 700w dimmable channels that can be easily changed to switching if the load cannot be dimmed. They are simple to install and easy to use, and come in a tough IP54 enclosure, making the units ideal for outdoor use. The single channel receiver (1000w) is designed for interior use and is small enough to be placed in a ceiling through a downlighter hole. Alternatively it can be fitted into a waterproof box for use outside.

These compact wireless switches can be programmed to any number of channels on any number of WiseBox receivers, making their use incredibly flexible. For example, one could be kept in the car to operate the electric gates and garage door, as well as switch on the lights in the front garden or the hall. Another could be kept in the bedroom so that garden or security lights can be switched on if noises are heard at night. For more extensive systems the WisePod has seven buttons and can control up to 42 channels. The centre button changes the LED from 1 to 6, with each light representing another seven buttons.

These innovative wireless switches can be easily programmed to any of the channels on the WiseBox or WiseDim receivers in a wide variety of combinations, and can be used to switch more than one WiseBox. In addition to the standard switching, the 7-channel switch has three additional functions. Button five will turn on all channels at previous levels; button six will turn on channels 1 and 2 only; button 7 will turn off any channels that are on. Wise switches are very quick and easy to fit and do not require any back boxes or electrical wiring. They have a battery life of up to two years and are available in either white or silver as standard but also come in a wide range of different finishes to match existing interiors. Please ask for more details.

This easy to fit remote PIR can be installed anywhere without having to be hard-wired, and can be mounted on a ceiling or wall, inside or out. It has PIR zone adjustment from one to twelve metres, time adjustment from five seconds to five minutes, and lux level adjustment to set the day/night operation.
