I just want a lamp/light to come on when I flip the switch. I could give a

rats ass what kind of switch. Wifey doesn't like a lot of light and a couple rooms have no overhead light and there is no lamp plugged in to a receptacle that is controlled by switch. So you have to go into room in the dark and fumble around for the lamp and find the switch. Totally sucks. Things will change when I move to beach house full time. Heads will roll. Lamps will light. Rant over
Motion switches would be cool!
What are YOU suggesting as an alternative??
