SVAT WRC101 Wireless Outdoor Remote Control Power Outlet

Bought this item to use out doors as it said it was for out doors and it would not work in he cold but would work in the house. So could not use it on our Christmas lights outside as we intended on doing. Won't buy another one.

It "worked" for the first three days with our Christmas miniature outdoor lights before it faild completely. Sometimes we would have to get the remote to withen three feet of the receiver before it would work.

I tried 2 of these units outside and the range of both units was a maximum of 50'. I find that an override switch on plug unit to turn the plug on & off at the plug would really be a plus. I bought 5 for presents and all worked except the one I kept for myself.

This product is terrible. I purchased 2 of them from Amazon and the first one did not work right out of the package and the second one failed within 2 days.

I bought this remote to control my outdoor Christmas lights. I tested it in my house when it first arrived. It worked fine. But after installing it on my deck, it stopped working after about 10 minutes. It does not like to operate in the cold weather. When I brought it back indoors, it worked again after it warmed up. Amazon sent me a replacement for it, but that one also did not work after being exposed to the cold. I am not talking about severe cold (e.g. below zero). Both remotes stopped functioning in 28F weather. I finally bought a similar product from my local Ace hardware store, and it has worked flawlessly.
