10 customers mention6 positive4 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the size of the switch box. Some find it narrower than other models, which allows them to mount it, while others say that it leaves very little room inside the box to squeeze in NM cable, wire nuts, and the switch.

Customers are dissatisfied with the stickiness of the switch. They mention that it gets stuck, and the switch repeatedly sticks in the closed position. Some say that the button moves but the switch does not contact.

"This switch got stuck a couple of times about a month after I installed it...." Read more

"...The button does not turn off the light. It's nothing but a piece of junk!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!" Read more

"Switch slays closed and does not open when button is pressed." Read more

This was kind of easy to install. You have to carve out a rectangle two inches deep. To do this I used a one inch paddle bit(I was to lazy to go to my shed and get the 1-1/2” paddle bit). That would have made it easier and less use of the chisel for fine tuning the hole. If you plan it out right you can do this without removing the frame moulding, as I did. My wife loves how convenient it is.
