Product Description

Product Description
This technologically advanced wireless electronic remote can control virtually everything in your house with just the push of a button. Control lamps, radios, or other electrical devices from up to 100 feet away, even through walls, with this radio frequency wireless remote control. The receiver plugs directly into a three-prong outlet, and provides a remote switched three-prong outlet to allow radio frequency on & off control for a wide variety of electrical devices. The control unit, with key chain, is more than small enough to fit into your pocket, but its signal will work up to 100 feet away from the receiver even from inside your car. The possibilities for the wireless power switch are endless. Use it to power on kitchen appliances. Start your morning coffee brewing before you even head downstairs and have it waiting for you as soon as you reach the breakfast table. It?s ideal for those hard-to-reach plug-ins like holiday lights and computer outlets. The kids left the television on and you don?t feel like getting out of a comfortable chair to turn it off? Just one handy button and you?re in charge.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work in the cold, January 1, 2008

By	Brian Kowalski "brian_kowalski" (Wheaton, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this remote to control my outdoor Christmas lights. I tested it in my house when it first arrived. It worked fine. But after installing it on my deck, it stopped working after about 10 minutes. It does not like to operate in the cold weather. When I brought it back indoors, it worked again after it warmed up. Amazon sent me a replacement for it, but that one also did not work after being exposed to the cold. I am not talking about severe cold (e.g. below zero). Both remotes stopped functioning in 28F weather. I finally bought a similar product from my local Ace hardware store, and it has worked flawlessly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work at 35 degrees, December 24, 2007

By	Arnold Williams (Celeste, Tx) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought it because it was rated outdoor with a temperature range -30 to +45 degrees C. Hooked up in afternoon at 55 degrees F and it worked fine. Tonight at 35 degrees it didn't work. It's only controlling a 60 watt bulb. Bought it in and after about 20 minutes after it had warmed up
it started to work again. I paid a premium for 1 day delivery and product didn't meet it's spec.

5.0 out of 5 stars I use it Indoors, July 5, 2007

By	Adam Flath "-adam flath" (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this remote for my roomlight to help me get up in the morning. (I live in a loft and have no windows) So instead of getting up and turing on this light, I can now remotely turn it on.

Pros:
1. Comes with an extra battery
2. Good build quality
3. Nice remote (comes with a key chain holder)
4. Plugs in and then the cord extends (pictured)
Cons:
1. A little big for indoor use as it is on the bulkier side. (not a problem for me as it hides behind a sofa)

Also it was on Amazon Prime.. so free shipping!
