What Customers Are Saying
The wireless remote control outlet provides convenient control of lamps and other plugged-in devices from a distance. Many users find it easy to set up and use, especially for controlling lights in hard-to-reach areas. However, some customers have reported issues with the product's durability and reliability, such as the switch or remote failing after a few months of use. Replacing the batteries annually may help extend the product's lifespan.

Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this was a “smart” product. It is not. The remote is an actual remote and rather big. It is very slim and It was easy to lose in the couch cushions. It is advertised as for a light, but you can plug anything that you want to control into the outlet.

Needs a little more variety in mounting optiins
Would RecommendI would like this better if it could be mounted to cover the existing light switch box outlet.
Well thought out product
Would RecommendThe remote control circuitry failed in our bedroom flat screen TV. I Needed a way to turn it on and off. Bought this product, put the TV in "always on" mode, plugged it into the Utilitech wireless outlet remote, and I can now control the TV on-off function remotely. While the volume can't be controlled without the TV remote (preset it at a comfortable volume) , I don't have to get up to turn the TV on or off. The detachable Utilitech remote is thin and unobtrusive, and it works beautifully. High...

Easy to Use
Would RecommendEasy to use, on the package it doesn't say much about a battery or if it included or did not include one. However, it comes ready to go with a battery in the remote.
Poor Construction
Would Not RecommendLight turns on but does not transmit power unless pressure is applied to wall mount. Broken after a few months of light use. Given bad flakey connection, likely a fire hazard.
Piece of junk
Would Not RecommendThis device worked for about 20 minutes, then it was useless since I could not get the remote to pair with the outlet even though I tried 25 times.

This is a terrible product
Would Not RecommendThe switch and outlet get out of sync with each other extremely easily, and the outlet needs to be unplugged and replugged to re-establish sync. This makes it useless, since the whole reason is to avoid going to where the outlet is. The switch is also extremely fragile, and doesn't stay in the housing very easily.

Convenient Light Control
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would consider the Utilitech Lighting Control a step before having a "smart" light control. This device would be great for someone who is not tech savvy or does not trust having their devices constantly connected to the internet. You just plug the receiver into an outlet and plug your lamp cord into the receiver. Pop the battery in the remote and you can turn the light on and off. The remote is a little flimsy, but works. It makes turning off...

Wireless Control
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great technology for easy use! I got this just in time!! Set up... Just plug it in to any outlet, plug what you want to control into it and your done!! This worked perfect for our Christmas tree. We have a prelit which does not have a plug on the tree for our angel. So this nifty little project did the trick, plugged the angle into the outlet no more crawling under the tree to find the plug knocking down 1/3 of the ornaments I just hit the ...

Works as advertised, super simple
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hooked this up so that my xmas tree could be on a controller. Worked perfectly as advertised. Off / on - no frills or anything crazy. That's all i could really hope for.. If youre looking for a non-wifi on/off switch for a lamp - this is perfect for you. 5/5 stars!

3 strikes you're out
Would Not RecommendWe really liked the concept of this remote switch so when it died the first time (after 3 or 4 months), we bought another one. However, then the second one quit working after a month, we returned it and received a new one. Now the 3rd one has also quit working after 2 months so we have given up on this product.

Nice Product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this, unlike bluetooth wireless devices like this that always lose their ability to remain synched this is wired by a battery to a transmitter and for a bedroom that does not have light switch for an outlet its great. I received the as a promotion to review

Love it!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This remote control is something I use everyday. The light I use it on is in a corner and a little hard to access. It makes things much safer for someone like me who is a little older. It's very easy to install. You just plug the lamp into the receiver. Plug the receiver into an outlet. Put the battery into the remote and you're ready to go!
From Byjasco
Love this.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product. The switch looks just like a switch that would be built into the wall. I also love how you can take the remote out of the wall plate and make it portable. The box that goes into the outlet is a little bug and you cannot plug in a three prong plug into the outlet box.

This light control is awesome!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this light control, such a great idea. In our case, we used this baby to set up a switch to control the out bedroom lamp from the bed. Neither of us ever wanted to get up to turn off the night, and now we don't have. Syncing the remote and hub was very easy; and testing it out, it works from quite a distance.

Easy to install and use!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This light panel with remote works great for any closet, hallway or even to control your lamps and lights at home. It is easy to install. The control is easy to use and is convenient when needing a remote to control your lighting at home.

Works great!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is EXACTLY what I needed! My Christmas tree is in a corner right up against an outlet which makes it a pain to plug in whenever I want to be festive but it’s the best spot in the house for the tree! With this remote, I can turn on the tree from all over the house without having to crawl into the tree like a squirrel trying to find the outlet. Definitely a game changer!
