BN-LINK U116R-2-5 Wireless Remote Outlet Switch, 5 Outlets, 2 Remotes

Control plugged-in lights and household devices from a remote instead of reaching for each outlet. The BN-LINK U116R-2-5 kit includes five plug-in outlets and two remotes for convenient on/off switching around the home.

Its wireless signal can work through doors and walls, with a stated range of up to 100 ft in line of sight. That makes it useful for lamps, holiday lights and other devices placed out of easy reach.

Each outlet is rated for 125V, 10A and 1250W. The outlets remain off after a power outage, helping prevent connected appliances from restarting unexpectedly.

What to know

This kit offers a straightforward alternative to operating each appliance at its plug: connect a compatible device to an outlet, then switch it on or off with a remote or at the outlet itself. The five outlets can be paired to suit your setup, and the two remotes give you more than one convenient place to keep a controller.

It works with lights, LED bulbs, compact fluorescent lighting, air conditioners, heaters, audio systems, holiday decorations and charging devices. Its 125V, 10A and 1250W ratings provide practical guidance when choosing what to connect, it is not compatible with shop vacs. The plug-in format also keeps setup simple, without requiring a separate wall-switch installation.

Buyers often highlight the ease of setup and the convenience of switching lamps and seasonal lights remotely. That practical benefit is especially relevant when an outlet is tucked behind furniture or the connected light is awkward to reach.

Best use cases

Use the outlets for lamps, tree lights and other compatible devices that you want to control without walking over to the plug. For example, a holiday-light display can be switched on from a remote, while the same kit can serve everyday lamps in different parts of the home. With five outlets, you can arrange control for several devices, and the two remotes let you keep one where it is most useful.

This setup suits shoppers who want remote on/off control for plugged-in appliances. Compared with controlling each device manually, the remote offers a more convenient way to manage lights or equipment placed across a room. The signal is specified to work through doors and walls, and the stated line-of-sight range is up to 100 ft.

Tips for day-to-day use

Plug each outlet into a wall receptacle, connect a compatible device, then use the remote or the outlet’s own control to switch it on or off. Pair the outlets to organize how you want the system to respond. Keep the voltage, current and wattage ratings in mind when selecting connected devices, and use the listed compatibility as a guide.

After a power outage, the outlets remain off. This behaviour can be useful for devices you prefer not to have restart automatically when power returns. Buyers also describe the controls as easy to operate, making the kit a practical way to manage lights that are difficult to reach.
