Can anyone point me in the right direction.
I have some lights I wish to control via a remote. They are 12v and will be in 3 location around 10m apart.
I can find numerous 2/3ch remote/receivers but they all have just the single receivers.
I really need 1 fob which will operate 1 light at a time and a master button to light all 3.
Thanks in advance

I'm sure one of the nerds at work did this by stripping down and using components from a 240v kit like this

Thoe are almost always soft start and don't like working with anything other than a normal old fashioned 240v bulb.

Ive just found some dirt cheap remote and receivers on ebay. £1.99 each.
Im hoping they all work on the same frequency and 1 remote will operate them all :/
I'm doubtful in all honesty though. They are 12v led halogen style bulbs im using (MU16?)

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

It's not a channel issue Ste - he needs multiple receivers as the lights are wired separately. So multiple receivers - single remote.

Yea as Richie States. I require multiple receivers off a single remote.
Seems a big ask tbh

Why can't you buy three of what Ste posted (or THIS or THIS)? 
I'd be very surprised if those Chinese specials are intelligent enough for the fobs to be encoded to the receivers 
Saying that, most of those kits struggle to work across 10m let alone 30m+ so it might be worth looking at proper X10/Z-Wave home automation kit.

That's what I have done dom. Ordered 3 of the same kits in hope they are cheap and use same band etc.
It's for some fishing lights I want to build. 10m range would be fine tbh.

Awesome. All work on the same frequency. So can use them all on same remote. Worked for the first two of three I tried.
