    • Clap on clap off... So cool
Style: Original Clapper
Way cool, I remember adds for this year's ago, never thought I would have one. There are two separate channels for two separate plugs. Two claps for one amd three for the other. Very nice when you cannot get to the cord to turn off a floor lamp. One little problem is that whenever there is a series of two sounds there is a chance the unit will turn on or off. For example i had it on and my kid closed a two door cabinet in the kitchen first one then the other and the light turned off... Nothing major though. The hardiness far outweighs that problem. ... show more

    • The sounds needed are a little finicky...
Style: Original Clapper
My daughter was watching The Dog Who Saved Halloween (2011) and in that movie, the dad claps and the lamp turns off. She was amazed. I told her those things actually exist. She then told me she wanted one for her birthday! I ended up getting her one to install in her room (not for her birthday - just a surprise) and showed her how it worked. Overall works as intended. But... the sounds needed to trigger it are very specific and yet very random. 1) Doesn't work when you want it to. 2) Does work when you don't expect it to (loud noises, falling objects, etc) 3) Can be very difficult to trigger when noises are happening in the room. What I have learned though is: - Don't clap too fast. 2 (or 3) clear, separate claps work best. - Works best when not hidden in a corner. I have mine tucked between a side table and bed. Sometimes won't register your claps if you're not in clear line of sight (sound?). - A super easy way to trigger it is tapping the box itself. When my daughter is asleep and I need to turn off the light -- instead of clapping, I simply tap the box twice and it works just the same. My daughter does get frustrated sometimes when it doesn't work right away. But overall was a fun investment. ... show more

    • More like "The ClapCalp.. CLAPCLAP...CLAP...CLAP...er"
Style: Original Clapper
I purchased one of these for my fiance for our bedroom so we could kill the lights after we read bedtime stories without getting out of bed. We both were pretty excited about this doohickey.The first night we tried it out, we couldn't even get it to turn on. Shamefully I had to read the manual. Big guy no-no. Evidently, you have to have solid, loud, and perfectly spaced claps. I don't know if it is the acoustics in our room or what but it is a rare occasion that it "Clap On Clap Off"s. One would think that something so touchy to turn on would have no problem staying off, right? Not so much. Weird crap turns it on. Sometimes a couple of coughs will do it. Another time, it activated from bed-noise during review-censored activities. Also, in the morning right after you wake up: not the best time for 1- loud noise 2- clapping or 3- trying to time those claps in any way shape or form. My advice; pay the extra and get the one with the remote, get a string, and tether the remote somewhere handy so you wont lose it. My better advice; thought there is no clapping feature, there is a similar device my mom introduced me to this last holiday; a remote control on/off switch for the x-mas tree lights. It plugs into the outlet and therefore can be used with anything. It was just marketed for the tree lights. There is no clapping required, it runs about half the price, and it is not a bulky white 70's looking thing hanging from the wall. I'm not sure the name of it, but with a little hunting, I'm sure it is easily found. ... show more

    • It’s a great little Appliance !
Style: Original Clapper
This is the old-fashioned clapper, it’s good to use for a senior citizen that has trouble turning the lights on and off. The only suggestion I have is to be patient with the it , it has to get used to your clapping sequence, then it works very well

    • this did not work as advertised and was sent back
Style: Original Clapper
This product is terrible and I returned it. It is very difficult to use, which surprised me. You need to clap at a certain pace. If the clapper picks up on a background noise while you are clapping, it will "lock you out" and you need to wait until the sensor lights at the bottom turn off so you can try again... Basically, it listens for your clap and if it hears something else (i.e. a songbird, the air conditioner, your dog walking across the floor), it will lock you out for a few seconds and you'll have to try again. I tried this on all four settings (high sensitivity, low sensitivity, using the 2 clap outlet, and using the 3 clap outlet). I tried for over an hour to reliably turn a light on and off and was unsuccessful. I'd clap and one sensor light would come on indicating it registered my clap, clap again, and the second sensor light would come on indicating it heard my second clap. Then the lamp I was turning using would turn on. Yay! But then, I'd clap and a sensor light would come on, but then a bird would chirp, and I'd be locked out. Wait a few seconds. Clap... The sensor light didn't come on. Wait a few seconds. clap. the first sensor light came on. clap again at the appropriate time, but it wouldn't pick up the 2nd clap... so again, I'd wait for the sensor lights to go off to try again... I figured it would get better as I practiced, but it didn't. I don't know how this would work in a room with a tv or radio on as I live in a pretty quiet small apartment and the other noises kept interfering. I sent this back and would not recommend this. ... show more
