>> replace the fluorescent tube fitting with a remote control led batten fitting.
Unfortunately the disabled person needs a zimmer frame to move around the bungalow. The existing light switch is ideally suited when entering the kitchen from outside, but not once inside the bungalow and then needs to go through to the hallway to other rooms. She has to first go into another room to put a light on, then come back to turn off the kitchen light. I thought the simplest solution was a voice activated light switch via Alexa. Mind you, saying that, I'm having trouble getting her to use Alexa at all. Originally purchased as another way of contacting someone should she fall when no one else is at home. This is a typical elderly person who won't wear their panic button pendant / wrist watch, despite having previous falls. Refuses to have CCTV indoors too, although reluctantly has accepted the one outside.
I suppose the other solution is to fix a bicycle light to the zimmer frame, but then she probably wouldn't use it to save flattening the batteries :)
