Ratings & Reviews for Utilitech Black Light switch adapter

Very convenient

Makes it easy to turn on/off up to 2 appliances, I.e. Lamps.

I bought 2 - the problem is that they are about 35 feet apart and when I turn one on or off, the other one reacts exactly the same. Upon calling, the operator said that the only way to correct that is to buy the pair with seperate I.D. numbers. In that I marked them unit#1 and unit2 I will hope that Lowes will alllow me to return one and get another.

Challenged

This product seemed over priced considering I bought a package of three at Christmas time for a few dollars less. The product works but it requires pushing the on button a couple of times before it engages. It does turn on lamps but it won't work at the advertised 80 feet, 50 feet or even 30 feet. Got it to work at about 20 foot distance. If you need something to switch lamps on from a short distance this product will work well.

Fantastic rc lamp switch

Bought this for a pair of lamps we recently acquired but quickly tired of having to turn them on manually. This works instantly and beautifully. Will be buying more for other lamps around the house.

Just what I needed

This product works great and with ease. Makes my life more enjoyable. Quality is superb have had no problems with it. Will tell all my friends how good it is.

easy way to turn on hard to reach lights

we probably would have no reason to give this five stars except that the first one we bought didn't work at all. Took that one back and got a second unit and it works great

Fantastic.

I no longer have to reach behind couch to turn on tall lamp. Love this! One press of a tiny button and my lamp is on! Easy to install--just plug lamp into outlet adapter. I hope this is okay with CFL bulbs. Instructions made no mention of CFLs.

Remote control

We've purchased two of these and had to return both because they just die after a very short period of time. It was probably overkill anyway. We bought a plug that has an on/off switch to use instead.

2 plug remote switch

opened package, read instructions, unit doesn't work. No power indicator on plug unit. red light power indicator on remote lights when function buttons pushed. Trouble shooting guide worthless...

Making Life Easier...

We have lights on our server with the switch's on the cords. This remote makes it easy to turn them on and off.

this product is great for turning on or off a light that is difficult to reach, it is small and easily concealed. I would definitely recommend this product.

disappointed

The advertised range is 100ft. I only was able to get 15ft range, Perhaps if I got another unit with a different code., it might make a difference. Another frequency code might help to get better propagation??

Design flaw

This is the third or fourth one of these that I have bought, as I like the idea of my wife having it to turn a light on inside our house when she comes in after dark. PROBLEM IS, the ring that holds the remote on her key ring keeps breaking. SO, I buy another one, as I like the idea of her having it on her key ring.

Wonderful convenience!

This is exactly what I needed to turn on and off a floor lamp that sits in the corner behind my chair. Much better than making my way over all the wires back there. My son-in-law found it on the Lowe's website, and I am thrilled. Just plugged it in, put the control on the table next to my chair, and I was good to go!

Works great for someone with arthritis

We purchased this item for my mother-in-law who can no longer turn on her floor lamp with her arthritic fingers. I was concerned about her lamp plug being behimnd the bookshelf and not recieving the on off signal. No problem this product works from other rooms it has been great for my mother-in-law. She can now use her lamp again.
