Product Description
No need to hire an electrician to get remote control of your lighting. The AmerTac RFK100LC Wall Switch and Plug-In Receiver is an easy, convenient way to add switched outlet convenience without any wiring or professional help. The invisible RF signal passes through walls, doors, ceilings, floors and even around corners. Simply plug the desired appliance into the receiver and the receiver into any outlet. The transmitter is designed to look just like an actual switch and switch plate and mounts to any surface with the enclosed screws. A press of the transmitter's toggle switch turns whatever you've plugged into the receiver on or off - just like a hard-wired switch and outlet!

We've had 3 of these in our home for close to 20 years and they've never needed replacement. Our house was built with no wall switches in the bedrooms and we were thrilled to find these. They've actually gone down in price since we bought ours. They work perfectly and we've never had a problem.

This switch is the ideal solution to turn difficult lamps on and off. I put the switch on my nightstand, within easy reach of the bed. Then when I am ready to go to sleep, It's no problem to reach and flip the remote wireless switch. No more getting up to turn the lights off.

The only reason I'm not giving this product 5 stars is because of the cheapish styling. It has a one-piece rocker switch/plate cover that looks like it could break easily. However, I've had mine for about 2 years so far and it's still intact.
This unit has three channels, so you can have up to three different sets of these in your home. In my living room, I have two sets, both on the same channel, controlling two lamps across the room from each other. Since they're both on the same channel, either transmitter can turn on or off both lights (kind of like three-way switching for multiple lamps).
The rocker switch makes it seem like you'd press up for on and down for off. However, it's just a toggle switch -- there's no difference between up or down.
Leviton makes a more-attractive switch (although they only sell the almond color here on Amazon). It resembles a regular hard-wired rocker switch commonly found in homes. However, it only has two channels (so you could only have two sets of these in your home), and it's VERY tempermental. It will randomly switch off and sometimes constantly switch off -- very annoying.
I would like to see X10 come out with one of these devices, but their controllers resemble remote controls too much. They need one that looks like a regular wall switch. So why X10? First it can handle 256 channels -- not just two or three. Second, it can integrate with your PC for home automation. Third, it costs about the same as one of these other more-basic models.
