4lite launches game-changing remote to take control of ‘big light’ once and for all

Published: 1 April 2025 - DIY Week's in-house clown

Lighting brand 4lite has announced the launch of its highly anticipated new smart lighting control product.

Crafted for those who crave cosiness, 4lite’s brand-new ‘Anti-Dad Remote' is the ultimate game-changer allowing householders to exert full control over the ultimate home power source – the big light.

 

We’ve all been there, curled up in bed, comfy on the sofa, or just about to drift off to sleep, when suddenly someone - usually dad - walks in and without fail, turns the big light on.

4lite’s revolutionary one-touch solution is set to put an end to the age-old battle over whether to keep the big light on or off. With the Anti-Dad Remote, families can now effortlessly control the big light with a single click and banish harsh lighting with ease, no matter how determined Dad is to keep it on.

“We’ve been working tirelessly to develop a product that finally settles the ultimate power struggle in the home,” comments Watson Lumens, bright spark of smart lighting brand 4lite. “Dads just love turning the big light on, and the rest of the family just can’t understand why. But our new ‘Anti-Dad Remote’ is here to put an end to that battle, creating a way to turn off the big light once and for all. It’s simple, effective, and the secret weapon every household needs.”

This nifty device, available exclusively from the 4lite website on April 1st, has a sleek, easy-to-use design and can be operated with just a single button. It allows users to reclaim control of the big light and restore peace.

Key features include:

  • One-touch control: A big bold “OFF” button. Simple, straightforward and designed for all technical abilities.
  • Voice activation: Special "Cosy Mode" can detect phrases like “Are we keeping the light on?” or “Who left the light on?” to automatically adjust the brightness.
  • Dad Diversion Mode: Automatically changes the TV to a gripping documentary, keeping Dad too distracted to notice the lights have dimmed.
  • Emergency mode: Automatically turns the big light back on when you’re searching for your glasses.
  • Dual function: Energy-saving and harmony-restoring.

Smart light expert Watson added: “We’ve all suffered under the tyranny of the big light. The Anti-Dad Remote finally ends this battle, creating the relaxed atmosphere that families deserve. Sometimes the best innovations are the ones that make life a little simpler.”

The 4lite Anti-Dad Remote is available now via the 4lite website. For more information, visit www.4liteuk.com.
