Summary: Works For My Stairwell 2009-01-01
Comment: This product comes in two pieces: a wired switch and a battery powered remote switch. I installed the wired portion at the top of a stairwell and the remote about 15' away at the bottom.

At first it didn't work, but after I made sure the antenna was dangling in the wall, it worked fine.

My only complaints:
- the wired switch doesn't fit flush into my small (~50 yrs) old metal electrical box; it sticks out about 1 cm
- compact fluorescent bulbs flicker when the switch is off; I had to change to a tungsten bulb

Summary: Great Item 2008-12-25
Comment: The easiest and least expensive way I found to add an extra room switch. Works great all the time. Much cheaper than what you find in the home improvement stores.

Summary: Please Don't Buy this Product 2008-11-23
Comment: Got one of these; didn't work. Got another; didn't work. Searched several non-Amazon sites and found a Heath-Zenith unit that, after I re-researched the Amazon site, found it buried in its bowls. Obtained this product (from Amazon), installed it and it works GREAT! The unit is Heath-Zenith SL-6133; why Amazon doesn't have this on its primary search venue is beyond me and disingenious. Yo! Amazon...save your clients the trouble and yourself the return shipping fees; put Heath-Zenith SL-6133 on your primary site and delete Levitron.

Summary: Just didn't solve my 'normal' problem 2008-06-02
Comment: I bought this product to solve the exact problem it was designed for: Remote switching of a ceiling light fixture. The light fixture is upstairs and I am in need of an additional switch for it at the bottom of the stairs. Why? Because when I turn out all the lights downstairs I can't see. This switch would enable me to turn on the upstairs hallway light before ascending the staircase.

Installation of the remote switch was easy. Installation of the switch with the antenna was not so easy. To do it right you really need to pull the single gang box and drill a hole through the bottom for the antenna wire to feed through. I have a metal gang box so I pulled it and removed a hole tab in the bottom for the wire. Still, it is a pain to feed a thin antenna wire through the hole such that as you reinstall the box the wire continues to feed through the box and hang below the box on the inside of the wall. This step is the most important because if your antenna is not positioned to properly receive transmissions from the remote switch it will not work.

I think I did a good job of this, but who knows? I can't see the wire without tearing out some wall. I have lathe and plaster walls so I am not eager to do this.

My switch doesn't work very well. I do not have line-of-sight from switch to switch. There is some stairway framing obstructing the line-of-sight. The switches are approximately 20 feet apart. The remote switch will reliably turn OFF the upstairs light but only very occasionally will it turn it ON.

In all I was disappointed with this product.
