2.0 out of 5 stars Great Product Design but Unpredictable, September 15, 2010

I highly recommend this switch but beware of its limitations. When I first bought this switch, I used it to put a few accent lights on one switch with all the wires out of the way. Currently, I am using the switch in my home office for my monitors, printers, and other peripherals that need to be turned off periodically. It works great.

It looks very nice and is very easy to mount with 2 screws. It is, of course, thicker than a Decora wall plate, but what should one expect: It doesn't require a large hole in your wall like a wired switch.

Since it is wireless, there are limitations where it will work well. I suspect that it might be prone to interference. Channel A uses 500HZ and 1300Hz and Channel B uses 900Hz and 1700Hz. You also need to make sure that the transmitter and receiver are not out of range (50 feet) and that there is nothing in between the two that reduces the range too much.

In my case, I was having trouble when I had the... Read more

I have a room with no overhead lighting and no way for me to wire one.
The room is on the first floor of my house and has two bedrooms overhead.

I plugged this little device into an outlet and plugged a lamp into the device.

I mounted the switch to a wall by the door and put in the batteries.

Works Great. Flip the switch, light goes on. Flip it again, light goes off.

I would have given five stars but... two issues.
1) Switch only comes in one style. No options for other types of switches.
2) For some odd reason the light goes on by itself once in a while. Not a huge deal but not very energy efficient. Perhaps the radio transmitter or receiver responds to some nearby interference. But I have no baby monitor or garage door opener.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well - on both A and B channels, June 13, 2010

I set this up so I can light up a corner of the room with either LED lights (when it is hot and I want to save energy) or halogen lights (when it is not hot and I care more about the quality of light than saving energy). The LED lights are on channel A and the halogen lights are on channel B. Both work fine for me; other reviewers have voiced problems. This type of set up requires purchasing two sets of receivers/transmitters. My review docked the manufacturer one star due to not offering the purchase of additional transmitters separately. I also wish that I could buy just a transmitter that does not look like a wall switch but is more compact and would go well on say a key chain. If anybody finds a substitute transmitter that controls either channel A or channel B well (preferably both, of course), please add a review and suggest the alternate product. By the way, I live in a Manhattan apartment building and have not experienced any interference from neighbors.
