500W Remote Control Light Bulb Socket - Wireless Switch for Pull Chain Lights, E26/E27 Base Holder, No Wiring Needed - Smart Home Lighting Solution for Bedroom, Stairway, Closet & Garage (Perfect for Hard-to-Reach Fixtures & Home Automation)

Review of 500W Remote Control Light Bulb Socket, Wireless Light Switch for Pull Chain Lighting Fixture, with 2 E26 E27 Bulbs Base Holder, Programmable, No Wiring NeededI needed a way to operate 2 basement lights that are not connected to the main switch on the wall going down into my basement. Both of my lights have the old pull chain style bases. Pull chains hang down in the way, especially if you have a basement with a low ceiling like mine. I tried two other brands, that were cheaper than this set, before I tried this one. The cheaper ones failed. It was not a distance from the switches, they just did not work right. I returned them.This set paired immediately! Set up was very easy. At first, I was afraid that I was in for problems because you pair the first one, then you add others as you like, and this did not work well with the cheaper ones. Adding the second socket/light with this product worked flawlessly and the first time. Both of the other brands I tried were only rated for 100 feet of distance between the sockets and switches. This one is rated for 300 feet. I don’t have anywhere close to 300 feet of distance between either of the sockets/lights and the switch placement at the top of my stairs. I do have a couple of walls between the switch and the second light/socket. The on/off worked wonderfully. The sockets and the switch feel well made; much more so than others I tried before. The switch operates smoothly and easily. This switch plate I was hoping would fit exactly in the same spot (holes matching up) as the filed devices, but this switch plate was slightly larger/longer, so I had to drill an extra hole. But the plate cover served to cover the old holes. Other brands have the actual switch that can be easily removed and used as a carried remote, but this device’s actual switch snaps into place within the switch plate cover. The only thing that I could not find was how to replace the battery in the switch. The instructions are pretty straightforward otherwise. These are wireless, but they are not connected to your Wi-Fi. This is a plus to me. So far, I am very pleased with this product. It was well worth the extra $15 over the lesser brands.
