remote controlling lights

I have an exterior light kit that for now is controlled by a toggle switch. I want to add a remote control and keep the toggle switch.

 Is there a relay module(model name and number) that allows for remote and toggle switch control for the same circuit? I'm thinking if I wire up the remote controlled relay into my existing circuit the remote control module wouldn't like it when I use the toggle switch.

I'm trying to not use a diode out of preference for now.

Like a SPDT relay? The remote energises the relay whose #30 goes to lights; #87 to fused +12V; #87a to the toggle switch output (+12V). There will be short a break when the relay switches over.

That sounds like what I need. Where can I find a SPDT relay that uses a remote? Do you have manufacturer name and model number?

You find a remote control that does what you want. Remotes might use relays, but relays don't use remotes. All you need is a remote that turns something on and off. (The relay may be built in.) Try a search for remote control 12V relay changeover... etc. If it is simply on-off (not changeover), then use that to switch a change-over relay as I described above.

where can I get the parts that i need.

Any generic wireless receiver/transmitter will work,Ebays full of them from $10 up! They come in toggle/mom/latched flavours,just connect an spdt relay to suit!

12vlost - Where were you for wireless control of horns tx/rx...??!!! And don't tell me you were temporarily lost! (Yes, I may be venting a bit - but NOT at this thread nor you nor fleetboy!) And thanks.... with apologies to fleetboy - I didn't respond to your last reply.

Never been on here for a couple of years,I was lost but now like you,I know everything ;-)

fleetboy - see mp3car's Remote control momentary "switch" on EBAY - some nice remotes for ~$10 (2 button) & $14 (4 button, water resistant).    12vlost - glad I found you. Better late is better then never - but you know that.

Possibilities are endless,only limited by our imagination my friend
