remote control flashlight?

[stump]

A while back there was a thread about lights on guns. One poster remarked that a remote controlled light would work as well and would draw fire away from the holder of the firearm.
This got me thinking. I've been trying to come up with a way to inexpensively remote control some lights. The idea would be to have several big ol' 6 volt lanterns that all come on when I push a button on a hand-held remote. These could all be aimed at the entrance(s) from different positions.
This would be easy to do using an X-10 system but I figure that a cut electric line could disable it.
I trust RF remotes over IR. The problem is that the only RC modules that I can find are for RC cars, planes, etc and have a much greater cost and capability than is needed.
Is anyone aware of a source for really cheap stuff that would do this?

I used this on a pendant when I cared for my father.If I was any where near the house it would trigger an alarm mounted out side my house to let me know I needed to get back inside ASAP!
It was wired to a plug in transformer that powered the alarm.You could wire your lights to a lighting contactor and have them all come on when you pushed the button from upto 1200 feet.

Just a thought remember you need one with the wireless receiver included.

Or you could simply wait for the Polarion CSWL with remote capabilities.

LLBean was selling some remote control lanterns, 5mm led ones I think. Coleman has some, too.

Dr Jekell, those are really nice but out of my price-range.
I then got looking at the pendant that kabkbak7321 gave a link to and suddenly realized that what I need is a wireless doorbell. DX has quite a few, some even look like cats, chickens, etc..lol.
Finally at Amazon I found one that even has 2 receivers.
It'll take me a while but I'm going to do this.

Awhile back allelectronics.com had a rain sensor transmitter and receiver for like 6 bucks. It had some awesome reviews, was getting crazy range on it. I wanted it for an alarm trigger. But, before I could buy it, they sold out
They still have the transmitter only, for $2.50 if you could come up with a receiver.

Here is the link to the sold out item, I keep hoping they will get more.
1/4 mile range!
