Inefficient, but cheap and small footprint.

I've build something like this myself with a smaller PIC and I would like to replace a light-switch with it, but where do you get the power? You could use batteries, but if they are dead you have to replace them.<br>Also, my design can be programmed with any RC5-compatible remote. How is this thing powered?
