Looking for 120v ceiling fixtures-w/ remote

[Vern_in_IL]

I know they exist in other parts of the world(Japan)

I am shopping for (preferably LED) ceiling fixtures, that can be controlled with a provided remote. (on/off high, med low etc.)

All I'm finding is battery powered, or ceiling fan lights. I could purchase ceiling fan "remote kit" and hook it inline with a LED flush mount ceiling fixture, however I would have a problem finding a place for the main unit.

You can buy a bulb that operates by remote control and stick it in any fixture.

I've used X10 to do this for the past 30 years. Use dimmable LEDs.

I am looking at the Insteon wall switch to meet my needs.

It says it's not compatible with LED bulbs. Will it work with dimmable LED modules that usually come with the new fixtures?

Nope, LEDs won't draw enough current to power it.

Looks like I'm going with traditional incandescent flush mount fixtures, and use the remote dimming function then.
