Customer Review: Does what it says
Summary: 5 Stars
I was wanting to install a light into a dark closet. There is no power in there but there is an outlet on the wall immediately outside of the door opening. This let me discreetly run an extension cord into the closet into which I could plug the track light unit I had installed inside. The problem was, one would have to reach up into the dark ceiling of closet to switch on the light fixture.
This remote switch solved the problem very elegantly. The unit works perfectly and the switch is mounted just outside the closet door allowing us to turn on the light without having to go through any contortions or groping in the dark. The switch itself is a bit thicker than a standard wall switch in order to accommodate the batteries installed in it but in our case, this does not detract from the beauty of the installation. Looking at the photo of the switch here on Amazon you can see that it is labeled "on" and "off". This is just a sticker that can be easily peeled off if you prefer a cleaner look as we did. It does have a two position channel switch to allow multiple units per room/house but I only have one and thus was not able to test this feature other than to confirm that it does indeed work on both channels when configured correctly. The receiver unit (where you plug your device in) does make an audible clicking noise when you turn it off and on. We don't find it loud enough to be an issue but someone who is more picky might find reason to complain about it. You'd have to be pretty picky though. The switch itself looks like a standard rocker type switch but it actually isn't. It's really an momentary contact type affair. When you press it in either direction it springs back to center immediately. I can't imagine this being a problem for anyone but I mention it for those who like to know exactly what they're getting.
I can't speak for durability at this point since we've only had it a couple of weeks. Nor can I tell you what the battery life in the switch will be but I'm 100% satisfied with the looks and operation of this product. It saved me a house call from an electrician and looks very professional.
