Steve,
The unit is a small motor unit that
goes
on the end of a standard vertical blind rail and drives the rod down the
centre
directly, roughly about the same width as the rail a couple of centimetres
or
so deep and about 15cm in length dropping down below the rail. The IR
pickup is
a small separate unit which is very discrete and a battery pack that takes
four
AA batteries and not much larger that the batteries it houses. I have one
and
it works well via IR control through HV, the cool thing about them is you
can
link several together with one IR command to control multiple units, for
example, IIRC, up to five blinds in the one
room.
If anyone wants I can post up some
pics later when I get
home.
IIRC they were about £45-50 a pop and
Li
at Laser was trying to set up a consistent source for them so best to
mail him
direct and see if he got anywhere.

There
is
a motor that fits on the end of the rail for vertical blinds
and is tidy with IR control but
AFAIK there is only the twist rod motor
for Venetian
blinds.
