Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Does the job!
Works as advertised. Simple to install and use. Price is low compared to competitor products and quality appears to be equal. I may buy another one or two for use in different locations.

I understand all units of this model - maybe the whole brand - all work on the same frequency, so independent operation of additional power switches within the range of one remote signal is impossible. To be fair, I don't know if any competitors offer a choice in frequency either, so this product ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works great
We bought this product to control a flourescent light fixture in my husband's workshop which is in a covered patio area outside. The switch works great, exactly as promised. The nice thing was that Amazon would ship this to our location which is in Puerto Rico, & they won't ship many electronic items here, so if you live in a hard-to-ship-to area, this may be your best solution. The remote works from a good distance away & we hung the unit upside down as per instructions - also a good idea ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A fine product
I inserted the unit in a waterproof box behind a masonry wall. It works consistently at about 50 feet. I wanted it to work at 75 feet (which would bring it into the house), but it consistently does not. Not bad--and I really didn't expect it to work through the box and wall--but not as perfect as I would have liked.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I am ordering 2 more.
We love this remote. We are using it for outside lights and it works from inside the house also. I am ordering 2 more for the other lights.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Durable, high quality and great value
I own four of these remote lighting/appliance controls and now would not even consider another brand. They're obviously rugged and well-constructed and have proven themselves in my home for over a year of daily use. The one downside is that there are only two frequencies sold and it's a 'Forrest Gump' proposition ("you never know what you're gonna get"). Otherwise, I would highly recommend it.
