Ok, I'm a dummy. I put 4 ceiling boxes on the same switch, now I want to control them separately. What are my choices besides:
I considered the x10 stuff, but I don't really see a wire in module that could sit in the top of the light fixtures. I may not have room for the socket rockets.
thanks

Pull the wire. Just do it and get it over with.
no, no. don't make me do that. . i already have finished the drywall and painting, and already have 4 switches at the top of the stairs. I'll probably just put pull chains on what ever fixtures we put up. It's only a 7'4" ceiling, and it's our office and her sewing room. (in a not fancy farm house we're re-doing).
thanks for the reply.

Slight addition: what I did way, way, back, when there was a "pull chain" light at the far end of a room (that is, you entered the doorway and the light was ten feet away) was....
... I placed a couple of "screw eye" screws into the wall, attached a long string to the chain, and ran that string to the doorway.
