A remote controlled apparatus (4), e.g., a remote controlled toy, for
remote control from a remote control unit, e.g., a pocket torch (2). The
apparatus is characterized in that it is adapted to respond to a sequence
of light pulses which have a frequency of repetition that is lower than
the maximum frequency which a human being can produce manually, e.g., by
alternately turning the torch on and off. In a special embodiment, after a
received sequence of light pulses, the apparatus is adapted to emit an
acoustic acceptance signal by means of a sound generator (15).
