RemoteLinc – INSTEON Lamp and Appliance Control Kit, Silver Remote Hot Deal $166.46 Price: Normally $184.96
Customer Reviews:
If you’re like most people, rising utility costs are hitting you where it hurts the most – your wallet! One way to combat skyrocketing utility bills is to use the RemoteLinc – INSTEON Lamp and Appliance Control Kit, a solution that makes controlling the use of appliances, traditional incandescent light bulbs and new energy efficient light bulbs a breeze. By using the included ApplianceLinc On/Off module along with energy efficient CFL light bulbs and/or LED light bulbs installed in your lamps, you can start saving on your electricity costs immediately. The ApplianceLinc module will also work on all standard appliances and many other non-dimmable devices up to 15 amps. You can control lamps using incandescent bulbs with the included Dual-Band LampLinc Dimmers, which have advanced features like an adjustable ramp rate that slowly brings the lamp on, a preset dim level that stores your preferred choice of 32 brightness levels when turning the lamp on initially, as well as local control, so you can still use the lamp’s built-in switch to turn the light on and off. The LampLincs also double as a pair of Access Points – relaying RF and powerline signals to other INSTEON-compatible devices in the home. This allows the included RemoteLinc to wirelessly control each of the ApplianceLinc and LampLinc modules anywhere in and around your home (up to 150 feet away from the nearest LampLinc) – and by hitting the ‘ALL OFF’ button, you can ensure that any linked lights are off at a moments notice.
Comes with everything you need to get started with the INSTEON wireless remote control
Ideal for energy efficient control of appliances and incandescent, CFL and LED light bulbs
RemoteLinc effective from over 150′
