How many times have you gone to sleep while your partner is reading i b ed, then woke up later to discover that they too are asleep but their bedside light is still on ?
Rather than having to get out of bed, or lean over them to turn the light off, Dual-Control lights come in linked pairs, with
two switches; a big one, wich is the control for the "local" light, and a small one, which is the control for the "remote" light. This means you can switch off your partner's light without disturbing them.
A deluxe version would use a triac to slowly dim out the lamp over a period of a couple of minutes.

Don't they have this kind of thing in hotels? |

Aristotle: Yes, sometimes - for wall-mounted fittings. But I've never seen it on sale for domestic use, and it seems such a simple thing to do. |

I've baked this. There are four switches each side of my bed; one for the main light, one to dim that light, and one for each side's bedside light. |

Or you could lean over with a tender cuddle and kiss on the neck as you reach for the switch. |

Perhaps a wall-mounted remote control so you can turn off TV if he/she left it on? |
|
| |
isn't this why they invented those damn clap lights? |
|

need a sleep timer, just like on a clock radio, so the light will shut itself of in 30 minutes. |

my old folks (bless their hearts) have a pull string on the ceiling between them (above between them, anyway), as well as individual switches on their wall mounted lamps. |
