Works great if not using LED lights

Bought for a gift. Got it installed and noticed that the device sends a small current to the bulb even when it's off. This doesn't make it so good with LED bulbs. This small current makes the light shine, so the remote control does not turn off the light. You still have to pull the chain to turn off the light. Type defeats the purpose of the remote control. THIS WORKS with regular incandescent bulbs, but not with LEDs.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • The list will go on.

Slightly fresh. Well made and labeled.

Very easy installation, all colors match, all required swivel connectors included, only thing I had to put in extra was my own 9v battery but I've read that Batteries are not included. when buying, so no wonder. It looks great and the resulting block hides the ceiling box well. I like how each wire has been marked where it goes. Perfect in every way and cheaper and easier than upgrading the entire fan/light - a simple addition.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

Ideal for remote controls

Easy to install and works great. Please note that this unit is designed for ceiling fans with top and bottom lights. This confused me when ordering. I assumed that the "light up" button should have been brighter and the "light down" button should have been dimmed. nope It turns on and adjusts dimming for 2 separate light sources. It wasn't a problem because I just put a nut on the top light wire and connected the low light wire. It was a great price for a light and fan controller.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I have nothing wrong with it, everything is fine

Powered by our unknown brand Ceiling fan

The ceiling fans were installed by a contractor and I have no idea what brand they are. We have wall mounted remotes with 4 micro switch positions so I took a chance and ordered one of those. Set the DIP switches to match your wall mounted remote and viola, this remote controls all fan and lighting controls from anywhere in the room! One star deducted because the remote I received was clearly returned from a previous customer and was packaged semi dangerously. Also, the price dropped by $4…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Has defects

Works great, easy to program

I lost my original fan remote, this replacement is identical to the one that came with it. You must program the remote to "hear" the fan. After inserting the battery, there are four small switches inside. Since the fan was already installed and I couldn't see the settings on the transmitter, I had to try different switch combinations to get the same settings (16 possible combinations). I experimented for about 3-4 minutes to find the right one and now it works great! Comes with a small holster…

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Secret

It works, but wowzers, this thing is clumsy.

All in all, it serves its purpose. I'm giving it three stars simply because it's ergonomic as a brick (literally. thick thing with right angles everywhere. not comfortable to hold or even pick up to be honest). That sounds picky. But it's really that bad. Looking out of the battery compartment, he doesn't even see a reason to be as clumsy as he is. Inside it is mostly empty. Second, you have to long press the buttons to make them work. If you just press them quickly, they won't work. While this

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Update availability

This is a great control box for people who need a remote control.

This is a great control box for people who need a remote controlled fan or don't have a wall control hooked up yet. It is very easy to install, the remote control is responsive and works as expected. The remote's range is a little short unless you place it in a very large room, which shouldn't be a problem. The only thing I didn't like was the dimmer option. Only recently did I figure out how to actually get the dimmer function to work (although I didn't try very hard) as there were no…

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Available in white only

Absolutely normal. Wish you could buy a second remote control.

I was looking for a wireless remote control to replace my previous one which gave up the ghost after ten years. I wanted the remote to be mounted on the wall by the door and the other to be placed on the nightstand by the bed. I contacted another seller of an identical product and asked if I could purchase a dual remote receiver. They said they would be happy to sell me a receiver and two remotes for a price well above the cost of two complete units. I wasn't impressed. I ordered two of these…

  • 1 year trial period
