The switch does not operate like a regular light switch. In order to activate the remote receiver, the switch needs to be held down for more than a second

They work GREAT! But I hadn't realized having two in a nearby vicinity that one would work for both fixtures. It worked out fine after all. There are now two light switches to use. Handy!

Excellent product. Excellent idea. Slight drawback: two or more of these outlets in the house are controled by the same switch. Each unit needs to have a frequency adjustment.

This product makes it very convenient to turn on lights in my room. The room is wired to where I'd have to get up in the dark and walk across the room to turn on/off the light. Now I can choose where I want the light switch to be any time of day. I highly recommend this product.

These units do have an impressive range. I ordered two at the same time and I would have preferred to have been given the option of two on the same frequency or two on different frequencies. Mine are both on the same frequency, and that causes difficulties in turning on only one light.

This is a great product but when buying more than 1 make sure you buy a different frequency code, otherwise went you switch one lamp the others will light up too. Unfortunately, in the online order we didn’t have the option to buy a different frequency code. You should have the option of selecting your frequency. Would have given a +5 if I would have known.
