Remote Control Socket | White Remote Control Plug UK | Pack of 3 | SREMSOC3PK3

Works well

works well and good for its price

I have had these for a while now and have had no problems using them. I did wonder how good they would be after reading some of the veiws especially relating to the battery compartment cover coming off easily. I haven't had a problem with that, it stays firmly in place even after it dropped on the floor.I also noticed that a review mentioned that if they don't have power then they loose pairing to the remote, I have hust checked one of mine that hasn't been plugged in for a few months and even when is used is only infrequently used and that remembered the pairing no problems. All in all this is a good product especially for the price.

We have a heat lamp / fan unit installed in our bathroom that was originally connected to mains plugs in the attic, each on a control socket to allow the lamps / fan to be individually controlled. The remote control had always been temperamental even with a fresh battery, so we finally decided to replace the remote control sockets and went with this set. These remote control sockets require programming, which is very straight forward - Plug in the first remote control socket and press the desired "On" button on the remote, then repeat for the second and third. Despite what the manual says, the remote control sockets don't lose their memory when unplugged, during power outages, etc. They can be reprogrammed by holding the button on the socket until the LED lights, then push the new desired "On" button to change to. The remote has 4 On/ Off controls, so a fourth socket can be added and it's also possible to programme multiple sockets to a single ON / Off number, which may be useful for turning on/off multiple lamps, Christmas light sets, etc. together. To test the range, I placed a socket in one corner of the house connected to a lamp and walked away one room at a time to see how far away it could control the lamp. To my surprise, it had no problem operating at the opposite end of our 4 bedroom bungalow! Even our centrally positioned Wi-Fi router requires extension nodes to reach the end bedrooms. For comparison, our previous remote control socket struggled to operate from directly below through the ceiling, which this new kit has no problem. The only minor issue we noticed is the remote control sockets are too wide to fit side by side with most power strips. To use all 3 on a single power strip would require a 5 or 6 outlet power strip, each plugged in alternating sockets.

Easy installation and simple to use

Exactly what I wanted, No more bending down to switch plugs off.
