LoraTapWireless Remote Control E26 Light Socket with Remote, 915MHz 656ft Range On Off Remote Controller for LED Bulbs and Light Fixtures 30W Max., White (Light Switch + LED Lamp Holder)

This switch is great and does exactly what I bought it for. It turns on and off a sidewalk light sending a signal through drapes, two layers of window glass, a window screen, 25 ' of air space and a plastic shade around the light bulb. It does not need a direct line of sight between the transmitter and the light fixture. And the receiver is compact and it and the light bulb fits within the light housing.

This is a wonderful product, works exactly as advertised, simple to setup & use almost immediately out of the box. I used this for my attic, so that when I pull down the attic stairs, the switch is right there. One press from down below, and the attic is lit up. And when I finish up there and about to push the stairs back up, there’s that switch (conveniently placed) to hit lights off. Man, I love this! It’s just wonderful when things work the way they are supposed to. This little item is like magic and makes life so much more easier, no wires, no electrician, just magic!. I had ordered something else at first, but sent it back and got this. Never been happier! I highly recommend these devices by this company. They just work, are nicely designed, and make your life so much easier. Don’t even think about it, just get it because it’s just EXCELLENT!*10/3 UPDATE: Immediate and excellent customer service…Top Notch Company

I'm very happy with the product as it worked exactly as I had expected.To briefly explain my usage of this product I'll give you a quick overview of my "project". Basically I wanted to power an outdoor security/surveillance camera and my only outdoor power sources at my home were switch controlled lights(light outside, switch inside). So I could hook the camera up through an adapter with a pass-through bulb socket on this line but the switch would need to be on all of the time for the camera to be on but I didn't want the light to always be on. So this product was a perfect solution for me. I connected the LoraTap to the adapter and screwed in the bulb. Then I could leave the main switch on all of the time and I controlled the light through the LoraTap switch instead of the main switch (I know the proper thing to do would be to put in another electric line but this was much cheaper and I wasn't prepared to invest that much for just this camera).Keep in mind if you do something like this all of these adapters will most probably bring the light bulb outside of its original fixture (it does in my case) so it doesn't look great but it serves its purpose. Also be aware of access to weather if it is outside of the fixture (mine is under an awning so it shouldn't be affected by direct rain).I hooked everything up and I tried to pair the device with the remote but it appeared it was already paired. I was lucky enough to have a metal plate over the old switch so the remote's magnet holds it nicely at the bottom of the plate (I slightly overlapped the switch itself as a reminder to use the buttons instead of the switch). And the remote signal easily went through the wall. Everything works as I had planned.Note: I received a message from Loratap after I ordered that it is not recommended to use with incandescent bulbs as they create too much heat. I used mine with a new LED bulb and it works great.

First of all, I bought this thinking I would be able to install a bulb and not have to use a power cord. I did not read carefully and I thought the bulb socket was battery powered. Now I know it DOES require a connection to an energy source like a cord set with a bulb. The good thing is I already had a cord set with a bulb so I just attached the bulb to this bulb socket and I still got what I wanted which was to be able to turn the light on in my room from the door. The remote control is super easy to use and I just set up it's base at the door as if it was a real light switch and I can easily remove the control because it's base is a little magnet. Also the remote control reaches far!!! My brother was experimenting with the distance and he was able to turn the light on from three rooms away! Overall, great product, especially for the price! Everything worked great, the remote is super cool, and it was simple and quick to set up!

The product is used to switch an area lighting system of multiple large LED Corn bulbs in a garage area where no power wiring is available for mechanical switches in the desired locations. It saved an estimated $150 in electrician costs to install extra wiring.The following is suggested:1. Increase the size of the physical switch buttons to make them easier to operate when gloves are worn. Ensure that they can be located by touch only.2. The sockets default to a power on state if power is removed and then re-applied as in a power failure. This operating characteristic leaves all lights on after a power failure which is very undesirable. The default condition after a power failure-power cycle restore should be “Off”3. Offer the switches and sockets as individual items. Each of my switches control several (up to 4) sockets which makes the total cost of such a system very high and leaves me with redundant and unused parts (switches).

Pros:There are many! The switches have a magnetic base so you can move it around the house then snap it back on the wall when finished. Never had any issues with range or lights not coming on. One of the only kit that has a memory function so if you turn off the main switch while the sockets are “On” it will come back as such when the main switch is turned back on.Cons: Just a few small nuances. You have to pair each button individually kinda wished it was a “On/Off” pairing mode. To add, each socket can be controlled by 5 buttons (on and off counts as 2) and I wish that was at least double. It is key to note though that each switch can control many bulbs but I haven’t tested that.Overall great product that does exactly what the description says. If the developers actually reads this please take two advice: Adding Wi-Fi support for Apple home and the ability to purchase sockets and switches separatelywould really add tremendous value.
