2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, August 23, 2007

This review is from: Lamson Wireless Light Socket Switch #HW2165D (Tools & Home Improvement)

I ordered two of these units. The first one that I installed didn't work. The battery that came with this unit was dead. I replaced the battery but it still didn't work. I uninstalled the first unit and installed the second. The battery with the second unit was also dead. I replaced the battery and it works, but not every time you press the switch. The switchplate also serves as the switch as it bends to press on the activation button. When it's pressed it sometimes doesn't work right away. All in all the switch sending unit seems flimsy. The light socket receiving unit appears to be adequate. Good idea; but, it needs more work.

This switch works about one or two times in five tries.
I'd send it back but because of the hassle and the fact
that the next one might be the same I won't bother.

I purchased two of these wireless light sockets, one of them quit working after about 30 minutes. The other one seems to be fine and has been working for a month now. The defective socket was returned to the manufacturer for a replacement but haven't heard back yet.
