1.0 out of 5 stars Unreliable, flaky, November 11, 2007

I bought a couple of these to control outdoor lighting around my house. They both failed in the same way after a few months, turning the lights on randomly whenever they "felt" like it. The remote control buttons only worked some of the time, requiring multiple pushes and some cursing.

This review is from: Lamson HW1190 Outdoor Light Remote Control Switch (Tools & Home Improvement)

This product seems to work and has for about one year. But the issue is you have to hold the button down for about 2-3 seconds to get the light to turn on. This is stated in the instructions but still very had to get used to. Try walking around your house and having to hold a button 3 seconds to get a light to turn on. Gets annoying. Reliablity does seem OK.
