 Very handy item, will work with florescent lights
By ChrisInVT
I’m using this switch in my detached garage. I originally purchased this for my outside light, but then decided it would be put to much better use turning the garage lights on and off from inside the house (my garage walkway lights are hooked up to the inside lights, not the outside one).
All the lights in my garage are florescent lights. I have four ballasts with two 40w bulbs in each one. I also have a string of three 20w compact florescent lights in my attached storage shed. I HAD two 15w compact florescent in my outside lights (read on). I have one old florescent light from the 60′s also.
With no incandescent/halogen bulbs in my garage this light switch will work correctly – if the old florescent light from the 60′s in unplugged. I’m assuming due to it’s age, the florescent light from the 60′s starts up hard. It buzzes and whines and flashes and will finally fire the bulb after a few seconds of protest. I’m sure it’s also feeding back all sorts of EMI junk back into the electrical. This light switch does NOT like that at all, and cuts the power when used with the remote switch (but will work normally with the main). Now, when this troublesome light is taken out of the loop, the remote switch works correctly. Since I haven’t replaced the old light yet (it’s most definitely on my TO-DO list!), I removed the two 15w compact florescent bulbs in my outside walkway lights and installed two 40w incandescent bulbs. These bulbs seem to “soak up” the crap the old florescent light is spitting out while it’s protesting start up, and make the light switch work normally.
To to sum this review up, as long as you have a sizable florescent load on this switch, and you’re not using old florescent lights/ballasts/bulbs – you won’t have any problems with it. If you don’t have a heavy florescent load, all you have to do is add a 25w incandescent bulb into the loop and the switch will be happy.
This switch uses it’s metal frame as a heatsink for the electronics inside and seems to get hot, not warm to the touch. I would highly advise to make sure your mounting this in a metal box to disperse the heat, and not a plastic box.
I’m only giving this a 4/5 simply because the switch is so large that I have to replace the box in my garage because it doesn’t fit.

 be aware
By Dr. Marty Rosenthal
Each of the 5 available codes are pre-set at the factory, so if you want to use more than one of these switches, you need to make sure you get ones with different codes (A through E) Once installed, do work well.

Good, could be better.
By Jayah
I bought it to add a light switch at the top of the basement stairs. The house is a raised ranch, and when the previous owners raised it and moved the stairs, they neglected to have a switch installed. It works, however…
1) Quality of construction is poor. I would have paid double for higher quality.
2) Occasionally it does not work right away.
3) Will not work with fluorescent or compact fluorescent lights. This may render it useless after 2012, when incandescent bulbs are due to be taken off the market. However, I will but a stockpile of bulbs to ensure I don’t need to replace the unit at that time.
