Westek Indoor Wireless Light Switch and Receiver Kit – No Wiring Required, Up To 100ft Distance – The Easy Way to Add a Switched Outlet, Ideal for Lamps,White,RFK1600LC

I've had this product for a few years, use it on a daily basis in my clothes closet. It still works fine!

...as another reviewer noted, be careful to specify the frequency if you are ordering more than one (or if you are ordering a second one in a different order). From what I gather, they come in frequencies "A" through "E".The way that I tried to specify the frequency was that the first switch I ordered was on the "B" frequency, so in the comments sections where you could leave instructions as if it was a gift, I told them to send me anything except one in the "B" frequency because I already had that. The second one they sent me was on frequency "D" so I think that it worked. I agree that there should be a way that we can just leave an instruction as to the frequency that we want, but there isn't. I figured that since the vendor would read those instructions from the customer, this is probably better than just taking a chance that they won't send you a second one on the same frequency as the first one that you ordered.As far as the product is concerned, it works well and does the job. The switch has excellent range and you don't necessarily need a clear line of sight to the remotely controlled plug. I was able to install a remote light switch for my living room pole lamp at the top of the stairs coming from the master bedroom. The second was installed on the headboard of my bed so I could remotely control the pole lamp in my bedroom. I did the same thing at my elderly mother's house and she loves the convenience of having the light switch at the head of her bed.I definitely recommend this product. You an use some double sided tape and mount your light switch at any convenient location.

I have an old house, and I don't want to chop holes in my old walls to run electrical wiring and switches. I've bought a few of these Westek wireless wall mounted switches for various rooms in my home. Mostly to turn on and off lamps so I don't have to walk into a dark room and fumble for the light switch. I was telling a friend of mine about my recent purchase, and he thought it might work for his lighting situation. He lives on a second floor apartment with a first floor entry. He has to walk up a flight of stairs into a dark room, and then turn on the closest lamp to get light into the room. We both wondered if you had two of these switches, would it work as a 3-way switch? (FYI- a 3-way switch controls from two points.... doesn't make sense, they should really call it a 2-way 'cause you can turn it on and off two different ways). So he went ahead and ordered two Westek switches. Well it worked! He put one switch at the bottom of the staircase, and the other at the top of the staircase and plugged the lamp into a nearby outlet. No major damage to your walls (just 2 little holes), DIY simple and no electrician needed! Wish they sold this product with an additional switch or a single switch option without the plug in box. Looks great and makes me happy that I can easily control more lights in my home.

Worked as they said it would.The switch housing is about an inch in depth.The switch itself is a sort of toggle or rocker that returns to its middle position when you stop pushing; you can rock it either up or down from the middle position and it changes states to the opposite as it was.The unit where you plug in what you want to be switched has a red LED indicating if its in the on state or off. It does not have a ground plug, just a two prong polarized set up. The specs call out 1200W max, so think ahead about the load you want to control.I wish I had given this a bit more thought in advance, but too late now that I've already installed it. With this product you can't tell by looking at the switch position if the system is supposed to be in the on state, or off. A small point, and won't matter for many people but for my application it matters. I can't see what I am activating and don't know if it turned on or not unless I go look somewhere else.EDIT: After two years of daily use the thing failed. I re-ordered. This time the one that arrived was a bit different, with a wide rocker switch that does not toggle; one side is on, one is off. Works fine.

My house was built in 1954. Previous owners have since added on and modified the house, with little thought to the fact that people might want to be able to turn a light off for the room they are walking into. I had tried other ‘remote’ products and none of them were all that great. They didn’t work all the time, or they were tricky to hit the on/off buttons. This product has been PERFECT. It looks and acts like a light switch. It is really easy to install, to mount, and to use. It is awesome, and has revolutionized my Home living experience. I just ordered more to use in additional rooms.

I live in a house built when people apparently didn't like having ceiling mounted lights, but instead enjoyed the soft glow of lamps, meaning if I want a nice bright room, I had to have 15 lamps placed around (they apparently didn't like large windows that let in light either). I was on a limited budget, so I purchased a beautiful chandelier from an estate sale, painted it white, and re-wired it to an extension cord pulled through a metal chain.I had planned to use a wall mounted switch to turn it on and off, but I had never used one, so I did quite a bit of research, meaning I looked at a bunch of reviews on Amazon and this one fit my needs and wallet the best, and had good reviews. I have been using this with the chandelier in my bedroom for a few months now and haven't had any issues with it whatsoever. I like that the switch looks lik a typical switch and now I have a bright room with only one light and no lamps!
