I use these in a few rooms in my house where I use lamps to light the room. Couldn't imagine having to schlep around turning each lamp on when I come in; just grab remote, click a button, and the room is lit.

Mine were Woods brand and I believe I got them at Walmart. Most stores sell something along the lines. Mine are IR, but not dimmable.
