Philips Grounded On/Off Switch with Braided Cord, 6 Ft Cable, Tabletop

I attached this Philips foot switch to my nightstand so I can easily turn my lamp on and off while lying in bed. I’m not using it as a foot switch, but it works great for my setup, speaking to its versatility. It’s compatible with and connected easily to my 110V wall outlet, easy to use, and has been working reliably so far. Very happy with this purchase, even happier with the price!

This is a great little switch. We got it so we could turn a bedroom lamp on and off without getting out of bed and without needing a wireless remote that’ll inevitably run out of battery or get lost under the bed. One lamp, one button: perfect. The switch itself is more compact than I expected from the product photos, and I really like the size, just two inches across and about 3/4 inch thick. The button has a solid, satisfying click, and it won’t accidentally turn on or off if you just brush your finger over it. When I press the button, I can hear the electrical relay in the plug quietly switching on or off, which is nice a bit of durable old-school tech. The cord is a very nice braided fabric. The whole thing feels very well built. For me, with a regular old lamp plugged in, the button switches the light on and off instantly. I saw someone else comment that they notice a delay between the button press and the actual on/off change, but that’s not my experience. This works exactly as I wanted.

I have a rather expensive swivel arm desk lamp that I use on my night stand that was made to urn on and off with just touch on a particular surface. The on-off mechanism has failed but the lamp is other wise fully functional. This power cable is exactly what I needed to keep my lamp functional and out of the land fill. I debated between 4 and 5 stars, but when you are looking for something like this that you aren't likely to find locally, it works, and has continued to work for 2+ years, it deserves 5 stars. The one star hesitancy is because the on switch hesitates--its takes a second or two to turn on, likely due to circuitry inside. It's instant off, just not instant on. I would still buy it again, though. it was a good value that keeps a unique lamp functional.

Likely a bit odd that I've purchased three of these over the last couple of years - our family uses a lot of tech, and sometimes having a remote on/off switch is really handy. For example, I have two completely different kinds of lighting on my desk, one a back-light for my large monitor, and by combining this switch with a multi-wall socket adapter that I plug into *this* product, I can turn both lights on and off via the button on this product, conveniently positioned on the side of my desk. In another similar use case, I use this to jointly turn on lighting for several wall-mounted art pieces. In other use case, I needed to turn on a bug zapper located up on top of our kitchen cabinets. Pros: * Well built, and looks sturdy enough to last. * Functions well ... quiet, but detectable "click" for on/off feels satisfying. * The wall wart sticks out to the side, but is cleverly designed to only use up one socket on a standard wall socket. * The 6' chord for the switch is long enough for a wide range of "remote" switching needs. * Reasonable price considering the quality of design and quality of all the components. Cons: * Minor nit: An on/off indicator LED in the on/off switch housing would have been the "Chef's Kiss" ;-) Bottom Line: Love this product - using in three applications and it's working great.

This gets 5 stars because it really puts an on/off switch in a more convenient place. It's also getting 5 stars because it didn't burn my house down. I did NOT read the description closely enough. Absolutely my fault. I was looking for a switch I could use to turn my microwave off and on easily as I'm looking for ways to save electricity during these heat waves. I plugged it in and was delighted to watch it work...until I actually used the microwave. Yeah, no. Halfway through a 5 minute cooking cycle, the microwave quit working. The switch shorted out. However, while it was hot when I unplugged it, because it shorted, it didn't catch on fire. So it gets 5 stars for being smarter than me. Obviously, I can't return it since I'm the one that broke it, but I will buy another and use it on something kinder and gentler, LOL

Works exactly as expected. The inherent downside is that if what you hook up isn't an 'always on' thing... then it's mostly useless. Personally, I've got a fan on my desktop but of course the switch is on its backside, so I've got one of these sitting where the wire comes out the keyboard... Perfect

Works as intended, seems like nice quality, easy to plug in, love the remote capability - i put it on my head board so now no fumbling around looking for light switch!

This thing is extremely handy. I have a countertop ice maker that does not have any kind of on/off switch. With this gadget hooked up I now have a better way of turning it on and off than plugging and unplugging the thing. Works great with lamps that have stubborn hard to turn switches too. I can see I will want more of these.
