Looking at ordering the Philips ProPix 860... Any glaring issues I'm missing?

I'm in the US looking for a budget projector. Fairly small room, about 10 x 14. My criteria was a projector that fit the budget, had Full HD resolution, and was likely to be pretty quiet. This one seems great... But am I missing anything glaring? I don't need any "smart" features, that and audio will be handled by an AVR I already own.

Thanks in advance!

Need help finding a light switch that is intentionally difficult to switch

I have an exterior driveway flood light that is on a sensor, so I leave the light switch that controls it in the on position nearly all of the time. Every once in a while I want to turn it off, but that is fairly rare.

The issues is that the switch is just opposite the switch for the stairway light that I use all the time... And a few times a week I get it wrong, and turn the driveway light switch off.

I've thought about just removing the switch, hard wiring it on, and putting a blank plate but A. I'm not sure of the code on that, and B. those few occasional times I don't want to toggle it.

So I'm wondering if there's a product that exists that would make it... hard to switch? Maybe a rotational toggle, rather than the normal up and down light switch? Something that would be just difficult enough to stop me from doing it on accident. I have searched for products a bunch, but to no avail.

Thanks for any input!
