    It is a radio remote I am thinking now... so no chance I think.

    Let me know what you think of the product. I'd like to know if it is bright enough or if it only work in a dark room.

    How much are they?

    It is definately not a radio remote. You have to point to the lamp to be able to control it. Sounds like a nice chalenge though. You can set multiple lamps to respond to one remote. So there are channels involved. If you pay over 149,- euro, you pay to much.

    As the remote does not transmit "IR" but uses wireless means you would need to use a "Translation box" such as the Lintronics to use it with the Beo5

    .. and it has very very very bad radio reception!!! The LivingColor is placed 1m behind my Ouvertre.. so not directly visible.. when the Ouverture is blocking the view: no reception... when I move a bit to the left/right... so when the LivingColor is visible then there's reception... but absolutely not good...if I'm 2m from the LivingColor then the reception is excelent!

     But... It's definitly a nice addition if you want to have a special atmosphere inhouse :-)

    An additional LC2 for switching it on/off is in the planning...

    talking about the LC2 ; they are so hard to find so the prices are going through the roof !

    I bought myself a LC2 for euro 80,= on MP [at least I thought I did because he agreed] but now several people are offering him amounts up to euro 175,= and he mailed that the deal is off, because he can get more money for it [what a gentleman, not?] strange and sad what money can do to certain people ? for me it's not the money issue [although the prices are certainly going up for certain second-life B&O stuff] but the agree issue that bothers me...............:-(
