    Awesome little product!!!
    4 Stars
    Awesome little product!!!
    To Consumers, I love having this great and handy (2) little remote(s) to control the lights in my room. I highly recommend this product! :-) really I would have given at 5 stars, but I thought the manufacturer might be more likely to read the review if I gave it four stars (if they're looking for suggestions to improve excellent product).To the manufacturers, first thank you for making it! It's really pretty great. :-) And second a couple ideas, to maybe go from great to perfect.... :-)1. (Easiest maybe) as you can see in my attached picture, I've mounted one of the remotes to the headboard of my bed. It sticks out a little bit garishly, and I often wish that you guys had a choice of color for remote controls: an option for black would be great. Maybe even a third option for Brown could be nice.(As you can see from the other remote mounted to my headboard, which controls a Bluetooth speaker, and has the blue arrow pointing at it... It blends in more nicely.)...Ideally customers could pick two different colors for the two different remotes, if they wanted to do so (but not if that's a hassle for you guys).2. Make the remote control cone a wider angle. I prefer one or both remotes in a fixed location, convenient to where I'm laying down or perhaps sitting. And I don't want to have to point the remote control at each different light(s) in my room manually to trigger them each. That would be a small irritation, but would be about EVERY time I use the remote... So I keep it in a fixed position. And I've struggled often to try to find a position & orientation that will toggle all lights in 1 room. (If I point the remote One Direction, it works great on the lights in that direction, but sometimes has problems with the lights e.g. in the exact opposite direction. It can be a bit hit or miss.)As you can see from my pic, I'm now pointing the remote straight up to get both sides. Presumably the signal bounces off the ceiling. At any rate it seems to be working quite well so far.3. I'm not sure if this would improve the product. But it can be a little bit confusing when I'm trying to toggle a light "on" and I'm accidentally pressing the "on" button, & if I'm trying to toggle a light "off" and I'm accidentally pressing the "off" button.Do we need to have separate "on" and "off" buttons for each light? Wouldn't it be simpler and better if there was just *ONE* button to toggle "on" if it's currently "off", and toggle "off" if it's currently "on"? I think most electronic devices just have one power switch that toggles both off and on. Wouldn't that make this product simpler for people using it?4. The five receivers are great , but they're pretty big. If it's possible to shrink them down, so they won't take up two adjacent electrical sockets / if you could narrow the width of them that might be good. (As long as you did NOT make them longer. If you had to increase their height, that might be a better option).So those are my thoughts. I hope they may be helpful. Thanks again for a really excellent product, which I use a ton, every single day. And I hope you are all doing well and in good health. :-)
