Geeks usually sell garbage, but these work pretty well.

These would be awesome if you could get a key chain remote for turning on and off lights as you approach your home. Never the less they look interesting. Anybody have feedback?

ben should stop posting these. i bought one set for me and one for my parents. they really suck. if literally anything is in between the remote and the "plug", they work 20% of the time. save your pennies and buy a higher quality product. or just get off your fat ass and turn on the device yourself.

I have them in my home, they work fine. Never tried them from a hundred feet away so I don't know about range but mine are all within 50 feet and I bought them so I don't have to get off my fat ass and turn things on and off.
Some people would think expensive lube was better than cheap lube that makes things slide just as well.

They work great for me. I don't have a lightswitch by my bed, so it's great to be able to get into bed without stubbing a toe and then turn the lights off. I can also turn off the lights in the other room from bed. I recommend these.
