Wireless Lights Switch Kit, Breezesmile Self-Powered Switch - No Wiring No Battery, Easy Add or Relocate On/Off Switch for Lamps, Remote Control House Lighting Paired up Receiver (Switch and Receiver)

I don't write reviews very often, unless something is really rubbish or amazing. Well, this one is amazing!One of the lights in our house was activated with a motion sensor [installed by the previous owners] as the room was re-design and the original light switch ended up in a very awkward position behind cupboards. We wanted the light to just operate like a ceiling light as any other. Initially I started looking at remote controlled lights, but the majority of them are controlled with a phone app. Alternatively, you can buy lamp holder adaptors which will have a remote control capability, however there are two problems with those: They are usually Edison (E27) instead of the more traditional British Bayonet (B22) socket. This means that I would need to change my light fittings and source some of those adapters, which could be costly and was just cumbersome.This is when I found this: Although it is quite expensive at £28, it does the job amazingly well. Not only that, it also looks really good! The switch is powered by kinetic motion, so there are no batteries. Also, the pairing is a breeze, making the installation really simple.The switch is also really well designed, stylish and allows you to be mounted on the wall by simply fixing it with adhesive or with a more traditional method using screws. Simple, so simple.

Received very quickly. The packaging is top notch and the switch & transmitter are of a very high quality. Some other comments say that the instructions are very difficult to read. They are a bit small but I managed to read them OK. Very easy to connect and set up. I've connected it to the outside lights on the new shed I've just put up and it works a treat. A small tip...when you pair the switch with the transmitter make sure the switch is in the on position with the company logo at the bottom. If it's in the off position before pairing you'll have to turn the switch upside down to turn the lights on. I'll be getting more of these for outside lighting. Hopefully it'll turn out to be reliable as I'm planning to get more for other outside lighting projects.

Used this to add two further switches to a set of wall lights on the landing that had three switches already. Had to replace the 3 existing switches as well as add two new ones - and that part was easy. The control unit, although small, does NOT fit into a metal one-gang back-box, and not very easily into a flush mounted plastic one given that at that point there are wires. So getting it behind a switch meant removing the existing back-box, putting and connecting the control unit in that place and then some fixing of the hole in the wall. Not difficult, just more messy than hoped for. But it now looks neat and all five switches work. It's only that fixing issue that stopped 5 stars.Can't comment about reliability yet - but I hope it lasts a very long time - i.e. fix and forget.

Having reversed the direction a bathroom door opened I found myself needing to move the light switch.My choices were limited due to the layout so the best option was to put the switch outside of the bathroom next to the door. Traditionally this would have meant having to run new wires and channel the wall to hide them - lots of mess and work.This little magic box allowed me to simply interrupt the wiring in the ceiling and place the switch wherever I wanted - no mess and hugely time saving.I can see various use cases for these devices - great for adding extra switches without complicated wiring and redecorating. As each base unit can be paired to multiple switches one can easily add extra switches - next to a bed for example or at the end of a dark hallway if builders were tight and only installed a switch at one end.You can also control multiple base units from a single switch so you could, for example, use them to control table lamps from a wall switch rather than having to walk around the room turning each one on individually. Just cut the cords on each lamp, insert a base unit into the cord and pair to a single switch.The only caveat is that you need access to both the live and neutral feeds in order to install the unit.This is easy where you have access to the wiring - in upper floors where you can access the roof space then I can't see any reason these switches can't be used no matter how your house is wired.However if you only have access to the wiring through a ceiling rose then you may find that you only have a switched live or neutral available - in which case you may have to get inventive. One suggestion would be to use a blanking plate over you existing switch - join the wires using a connector block to create a permanent circuit - effectively turning the light on permanently (I wouldn't recommend burying a connector into the wall and plastering over - connectors will always be a possible weak point and you should leave them accessible hence the blanking plate).You would then have a permanent live and neutral at the ceiling rose and can insert the control unit for the wireless light switch into the loop between the ongoing lighting circuit and the light fitting.Remember only the lights you would like to be controlled by this unit should be wired into the output connectors. All ongoing circuits need to be on the input side of the unit. If you only have a single ongoing neutral and\or live wire then you can do as I did and use the input terminals for two wires - the incoming circuit and the ongoing circuit to the next light in the house. This was a tight fit so if you have more wires to accommodate then you would need to use a junction box and then run feed wires from it to the wireless unit.There are various different lighting circuit designs in use in the UK so make sure you understand what you have before trying to install this product. It should go without saying but before doing anything - get a Multimeter and check what's live and what isn't when the wall switch is turned on and off - once you are clear on this - turn off the breaker or pull the fuse for your lights before doing any work - and then check again with the Multimeter that nothing is live.If in doubt ask an electrician - it would still be cheaper to get one to install this product than to have a light switch added or moved the traditional way if you take into account the extra time for the sparky plus possible decorating \ plastering costs.Update - I showed this to a Electrician friend and he pointed out that there are various situations where a traditional light switch is potentially dangerous - the obvious one being in bathrooms but also in commecial situations such as care homes where safety standards need to be higher. As these switches have no electrical supply they are inherently safe and can be used anywhere!We also tested the range - I walked up the garden and the switch worked from 70 metres away through several walls - i gave up walking before I found the limit!I hope you find this helpful.

I bought two switches and a relay and am using them to control the LED lighting in my garage. The switches have a high quality feel and action and I like the way they come with a separate mounting plate. Also it's nice that the relay comes with built-in screw terminals so you don't need an additional chocolate block to terminate the mains wiring. The radio switches work like a charm. I even have one outside on the wall of the house since it claims to be waterproof and it continues to work fine despite some heavy rainfall recently. Also the switches have maintained their pairing despite a recent powercut - so very happy with this product and would recommend. The only outstanding unknown is longevity of the relay and switches but all seems to be excellent quality so far - so no reason they should fail anytime soon.

The advertisement did not make it clear that the transmitter had to be fixed to a wall and I want one I can carry with me so it's no use to me for this purpose. I shall be returning it.
