Thanks for the comments, 'Holiday-ers' ... I've never had any trouble buying faux candles w/on-off switch only or w/timer on-off switches. But these remote ones I saw posted by our Holiday friend, jane ...& loved them...so 3rd time was a charm...they're working beautifully! The pics I used are like postcard pics from a book called 'Weddings' ...Memories of a Liftime by Sandra Evertson (artwork for scrapbooks & fabric-transfer crafts)...has a CD with it that are copyright-free images. One thing I forgot to mention is to let your ink 'dry' 10 min or so before attaching to the candle. ;-) Jeanne S.

Thanks, deeageaux! I never considered that possibility. You seem to be extremely knowledgeable about these things. I hope you don't mind if I pepper you with a few more questions. You're teaching me a lot and I need all the help I can get. After much consideration, we have now decided to go with a wall-mounted chimney style hood. One of the online cabinet suppliers has just started offering the Cavaliere-Euro range hoods. Can you offer any insights about that line? A few more concerns: - If a hood comes with a remote control, does that mean you can only operate it with the remote control? - Is it better to have a hood with the lights located towards the front or the rear? - Some hoods have "baffles," some don't. Does it matter? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Here is a link to the only such device I have found. I haven't purchased it yet so I have no information on how well it works. Since it is my understanding that they are relatively expensive, I suspect the manufacturer rep can provide info on sales or customer feedback.

Reprogramming your opener may or may not erase the code used by another remote. It all depends on how the manufacturer originally set them up and who knows. The odds of your neighbor opening your door is next to impossible. If you are really concerned about the old owner opening your door the best thing to do is replace the entire opener.
