Stop walking across a dark room to turn on the light. Install a 3-way switch and control lights from two locations.

Next, cut a hole to accommodate the switch box you’re planning to add, and then cut a one- to two-inch tall slot a few inches wide below the outlet to allow access to fish the wire through.

Installing a wireless light switch is a simple upgrade that you can accomplish in an hour or less. You can control lights from as far as 100 feet away without running any wires through the walls.
