Here is what I would like to do:

My shed is about 100' from my house and I would like to be able to turn the outside light on from the house.... without digging a trench and running a wire.

Are there any products out there that would allow me to do this? I did see a few on line but most of them seemed too cheap to be reliable and almost all of them had terrible reviews.

Any info would be appreciated!

I have been using X-10 for many years with good success.

I currently use X-10 wireless remote to turn on my pool light, a fountain, and backyard lighting. The wireless receiver / X-10 controller is physically located in the house - the handheld wireless remote is typically located in the house or on the back patio. X-10 modules are located at each controlled device.

You don't need to do the wireless X-10 for your application, a table top or other controller unit would do.
