advice on remote switch to replace wall switch?

[tomd]

so my wife is buying this new bed with a huge headboard. It's also a king vs our current queen size.

When we built our bedroom, I conveniently placed a wall switch so that I can reach it from bed to shut off the can lights (actually there are two switches, the other for the ceiling fan). The new headboard will cover the wall switches.

Looking for options.
This is functionally what I was looking for, but it says it doesn't work with LED lights.

I found this one

but looking or other options.

What about adding another further away and change the switches to 3-ways, or turn the current switch into a junction box (with cover) and move the switch

I can't move it significantly since there is a window located approx where the edge of the headboard will be. I prefer not to get into drywall repair, thus i'm looking remote options.

OK, I'm finding what you already have found. There are some other manufactures but Leviton would be my pick.

Could also do it old school and replace the switch with an extension cable and install a small rocker switch in the cable or use a box mounted down low, and located where needed.

Just a thought

Just cut and frame a window in the headboard. KISS

My wife and I use a system like this,

I got ours at menards, they even had wall switchs that would work paralell with the remote, We each have remotes on our night stands, and a switch by the hall way door and bathroom door. You can turn the light on or off from any location.
