Television remote controls use infrared light to send signals to a receiver that converts them to electronic instructions for your television. The small light bulb in your remote control may not be strong enough to send clear signals over a distance greater than about 30 feet. You can increase this range and focus the infrared light beam by installing a metallic reflector inside your remote control. This inexpensive and simple method can add five to 10 feet to your range.
