I want to put up a pendant light, where I have an unswitched ceiling box.

I can't find a remote switch, with a transmitter that would fit in a elec. box.

Has anyone done this?  I was thinking of a ceiling fan remote.

How do you turn the light on/off now?

You need a socket that is wireless controlled. I have several and use them in closets. Just unscrew the bulb, screw in the unit, and screw the bulb into the unit. Here is one on Amazon.

Do you know where the power you want to use to supply this pendant comes from?  Might be able to run a switch someplace close to being useful


I set my closets up on switches like a car door.  Open the door switch turns on light.

That would work, if I can find or make a light that would work with the extra socket length.
The switchless circuit has a smoke detector on it now.

take a look at this episode of ask this old house

He installs a receiver, very similar to a ceiling fan receiver up in the light fixture.  The wall mounted switch has no wiring, and apparently no batteries.  Don't quite understand how a wireless switch sends an rf signal to the receiver without a power source... must be magic!

Looks like the receiver is:

In the switch specs it lists what voltages are acceptable.  One switch requires a neutral the other one does not, but it requires a wired load off of the switch.  Then it can operate a receiver on a unswitched source.  Roly

You can't add stuff to a circuit with smokes on it.
