Remote operated tech: an affordable status symbol for your household

For most people, the possibility of operating your home's lighting from the comfort of your own sofa is an exciting one. For a start, it gives us lazy (or ergonomically minded) people the chance to put our feet up and let technology do the heavy lifting. But there is another benefit to using minimal effort to carry out domestic chores: it makes you look like an absolute rockstar.

We've all gone through the eye-opening experience of visiting a friend's house and being blown away by all the amazing tech they have. You'd be mid-conversation, trying to describe how well you think your life is going, and they'd suddenly whip out a remote and begin dimming the lighting. "Ooh," your partner may say, and you'd leave that night seething with jealousy.

Well now is your chance to get in on the action.

Rather than stewing with resentment, or even taking the opposite extreme and renouncing all material possessions, you can now own and operate a remote control-operated lighting system with ease.

Whether it is political events, sporting results, or what film your family is going to watch, it can be pretty frustrating to feel like you're not in control of things. And many of us - no matter how meek - still can't shake off our inherited awe and admiration for absolute power; that yearning for authority expressed so vividly in TV shows such as Game of Thrones and House of Cards. But thanks to the wonders of technology, now is your chance to assume the mantle of kingship (or queenship). And for an affordable price!

With Retrotouch's range of sleek remote operated tech, your domestic life can be made both more economical and more empowering.

Our intention is in reducing all those niggling inefficiencies around the home, and have therefore come up with the following systems that utilise this awesome remote operated technology.

• Remote controlled light switches, which can run throughout your entire household. Your remote can set scenes - patterns of light - in different rooms, without the need for expensive controllers or senders. These work for our Boutique and Crystal lighting ranges, as well as for our dimmer switches.

• Motorised wall and ceiling mounts, which can be manoeuvred into the optimum viewing angle from the comfort of your own sofa. These mounts work both on normal and curved screens, and are a great way to keep your TV away from potential hazards.

Each provides the user with an awesome feeling of control, while providing great value for money.

So for anyone looking to keep up with the Joneses, or for anyone who wants to be a Jones, consider your next home technology purchase a remotely operated one. Who knows - your next dinner party may end up being a much more satisfying one.
