Thinkbee 230V Wireless Lights Switch for Light, No WiFi No Wiring Needed Remote Control with 10A Receiver for Lamps 1000W, Outdoor 1700ft Indoor 330ft IP66 Waterproof Remote Control Wall Switch Panel

Written in 2024...installed 2022These have been superb and 100% reliable. In a renovation of a 1960 building which had been rewired by the previous owner in 2005. The electrician had laid trunking down to light switches. These simply enabled me to shorten the runs to permanent connection and the at the light rose fit the receiver. Trunking gone and light switch relocated to wherever I please. I have over 10 of these units in my home for two years. Never a issue easy to install . I totally recommend.

Installed it for my ceiling light and no issues at all. battery still going after year, very easy to wire up and connected to switch straight a way.

I purchased another brand from of wireless switches. Within a week of fitting the pairing would play up and eventually the three way switch packed in all together. Fitted these today and they were easy to pair and within 30 seconds all working perfectly. Smaller form factor than the other brand so would be easy to hide within a ceiling. Great product would recommend and will be buying some more in the future.

UPDATED REVIEW:I did order a replacement. I will add I am an avid DIY’er in every way except electricity. So this was my first venture into being an electrician. If you’re like me, I can say it’s not as scary or impossible. And it worked HOWEVER some key things to know:1. If you’re living in an old UK house with old chaotic wiring, brace yourself. It took me a long time and actually ended up getting guidance from ChatGPT on how to best wire this. I have attached the WAGO connector combinations that worked in the end.2. I used this as a renter friendly hack to replace a dreaded pull cord in the bathroom. When I opened the pull cord switch I was faced with one ground wire, one black wire, and one red wire. I ended up leaving the old pull cord switch base junction fixture which had a ground wire place. I left that as is and wired the black and red.3. My switch operates three ceiling spotlights. At first when the switch was finally attached and worked my lights flashed incessantly. I was confused. Turns out older LEDs are not compatible with smart switches. Lo and behold once I ordered newer LEDs that are marked as compatible with the likes of Alexa, they stopped flashing. I hope this saves someone else 2+ hours of investigation.4. I think again due to this being old electrical wiring, probably poor circuitry, no matter the type of light bulb, my lights are much dimmer since installing this switch. Upon initial investigation (read: internet trawling) this may be due to not tight enough wiring. I will be revisiting this when I have emotionally recovered from the first round of this journey. Apparently it may also be due to ground being still in the old port. TBC I may ask Reddit. There is also suddenly a delay from hitting the switch to them turning on. Clearly something needs refinement.5. After I left my original review, customer service reached out to me proactively and issued a refund which I think it impressive in a world where customer service increasingly sucks.Long story short, I can see how this would be extremely easy if you’re not working with wiring or circuitry from another generation. If you are, and don’t have much experience with electrical work, prepare to be brave and learn a hell of a lot more than you bargained for!ORIGINAL REVIEW (with 1 star rating): The principle is great if it were to work.The switch clearly works in its own right as the blue light flashes but either the connectors or the receiver part don’t because after hours of messing about with old ceiling pull cord wiring thinking I’m the problem, I opened up wiring elsewhere in the home and tested it to no avail. Once I placed the wiring in the previous switch (elsewhere) it works.Unsure whether I will order this again or call it a write off and get a different brand.

The video on Amazon that accompanies this purchase gives a near perfect example of how to install and pair this product easily and safely.I read other reviews that mentioned battery life and making sure your wiring was in the correct way and it worked first time.As a side note if you are competent enough I would advise any armature DIY enthusiasts to install this product for thr following reasons.Several years ago I paid 2 electricians (cowboys) to install a similar product in my loft for my landing light. They charged me a very high rate for a very simple wiring job. Now I’m converting the loft area I’ve seen the multitude of sins they have left behind as the cut through old wiring and left it up there and also left a live feed for this light switch bare and unprotected. Inevitably as we inched our way around the loft area cutting away the dead wires we came across this little beauty a shrine to their incompetence, which literally blue up as soon as I touched it because it was badly installed, because lofts especially ones that are not converted can hide a multitude of sins from unscrupulous tradesmen.Now I’ve ordered and installed and fitted this item it in a timely manner myself, I don’t have to worry about short circuits or risk of a fire occurring.The battery issue I’ve heard is a concern because as far as I’m aware the only way you can remove the front panel easily is from the rear of the unit. However once it is installed via screwing it to a back plate, this could be troublesome to do in the future, so I’m hoping I haven’t got one of the dud batteries in the switch unit others have complained about.Also great push and clip fittings for the wireless unit and as mentioned earlier the video help file that accompanies this installation is an accurate representation of how to install this unit safely.If only all electrical appliances that require wiring were built this way, DIY would be far less tedious and problematic.For all of the above and piece of mind is the reason I’ve given this product 5 stars and felt compelled to write a rather lengthy review.
