Disappointing 55

At first glance, the sockets seem really practical because of their smaller depth, but it soon one realizes that they besiten some drawbacks. Thus the outlets only allow tabs and if you have set the first in the house, you realize how rare these connectors are still on devices where Funksteckdosen would make sense. In addition, I have such. As everywhere in the wall adjacent double sockets. Here you can but z. B. not plug in two of these sockets to turn about separate lamps because they have indeed for a shallower depth, but the greater width. The individual radio outlet extends as far over on the center between the two wall outlets.

The exact dimensions:

Beyond which are wall outlet does after plugging a white block with a depth of only 2.5 cm. The height of the block is 7.8 cm, the overall width of 6.8 cm. On the back there are 1.55 cm, ranging the block each side, measured from the outer edge of the plug. Top it there are 1.5 cm, 2.65 cm downwards.

The disadvantage I find that the plug should be used exclusively from below. I had tried to turn the socket and insert the plug from the top into the wireless socket, but somehow I had the feeling that the outlet has responded so even worse on the radio signal. Because this seems to be the main problem of the set. Is even if the socket around properly, so so that the plug is plugged from below into the wireless socket, connected, the signal is transmitted well really insufficient:

"HE800S is ideal for use behind furniture"? "Radio range up to 30 feet"? This is nonsense! That may with the 30m votes, if there are really no obstacles in the way, but once any piece of furniture in the way, the set fails all along the line! I have the outlet installed in a corner next to a wall unit (distance from the wall unit side even about 20 cm), but the signal does not come through by cabinet door and side panel, apparently walks around not around the corner, how to do that from other remote controls ( ) is used for radio-controlled socket sets!. From straight to the socket I can only turn when I stand in front of her, as about 1.50 m in front of the outlet is then on this side of the room a really small single-door chest of drawers in the way that the signal does not pass through. Both pieces of furniture are made of MDF, so do not even massive real wood.

The installation of the outlets is very intuitive and worked each immediately at the first attempt.

The set comes with an alkaline battery of the type A23S (12V) for remote control.

Conclusion: The disadvantages outweigh clearly or are unacceptable (bad radio link). If I really zudrücke both eyes, it is sufficient due to the special design just for two stars, since there are certainly areas of application in which the design is optically advantageous. The outlet is only used when the wireless signal can pass unhindered directly from the remote control to the socket.
