Tools and Hardware Reviews of Carlon HW2162 Wireless Light Socket Switch
Customer Review: Great little gadget
Summary: 5 Stars
This is great!. I have a wall light fixture over a table that is to high up to reach. So I turn on the light fixture and always leave it on. The bulb socket is screwed into the wall fixture and it has a receptor that gets a wireless signal from a light switch. You don't have to screw it in. You can stick it on a wall with an included sticky pad, or just lay it down on a surface.It's a regular light switch that signals the light to go on or off. I have mine by the entrance door. Yes it does work with a compact florescent.The only problem I see is so far there is no clip on cover available for that kind of bulb. UPDATE: The receptor base stopped working 1 year and 10 months after purchase.Customer Review: Does what it says...

I purchased this product as a temporary solution as I work on a room...Love it...it does what it says it does...it is wireless so at times the response may not take when you hit the switch but this is in rare occassions....anyhow, the product works well using the new florescent energy savings bulbs...will use the regular light bulbs later on to see if the heat generated will affect the product as some commentators have said (I will do this just for my curiosity)...but for the meanwhile, great product especially since you can put the switch whereever you like...ENJOY AND WORTH THE COST...Customer Review: works after I switched channels on it

I got this for a light in the hallway that was previously operated by a button on the actual fixture. Our options in replacing the fixture were pretty limited until I came across this. When I first tried it, it didn't work at all. Then I changed it to channel C on both (the default was A) and it worked. I was about to return it but couldn't find the invoice and decided to tinker with it. Now it works great and it's exactly the solution I was looking for since I was able to put a normal wall sconce even though there is no hard wired light switch for the fixture.Customer Review: Works as advertised

Installation was very easy. I wanted this product to shut a hallway light that has it own light switch. No way, I can use this product with the existing switch. Looks like I need to buy another transmitter switch and keep the old switch on to provide power to the light. add another transmitter switch on the other end of the hallway. Not sure if I can buy just the transmitter switch or not. The switch I receive was the wide type, didn't look like the typical light switch or what was advertized.Customer Review: Great Convience...

Using this wireless switch for a closet light with a pull chain.
Initially, the switch only worked 7 out of 10 times... until I fine tuned it...
1) Make sure the switch is orientated the correct way to the cover plate...
2) Make sure the top of the switch is up when installed...
3) Make sure the two cover plate screws are tightened enough...
Now... the switch very rarely does not work on the 1st touch.
I would buy one again.
