  • Converts electrical appliances to remote control on/off operation
  • Turns appliances on and off at the click of a button
  • Great for those hard to reach sockets
  • Simple and easy to use - no installation required - 'Plug 'n' Play' operation
  • Use to switch off appliances on standby

  • 30m range in open spaces
  • Even works through ceilings and walls!
  • Maximum switching capacity 3120W

Any appliance with a plug socket can be powered remotely up to a distance of 30 metres. It uses Radio Frequency so the remote does not need to be pointed at the socket and can work through walls. Each RF socket has 4 channels than can be set from the switch at the back. For example, if you had 5 lamps plugged into the RF sockets on different channels/codes you could turn them on and off individually or if set on the same channel/code you could turn them all on and off at the same time. To operate, set the dial on the reverse of the product to the channel required and fit the small battery to the transmitter. Plug the socket in to the required wall outlet and it's ready to use.

Technical Specifications:
Transmitter battery: 12V/23A (Order Code JG91 for replacement)
Transmitter radio frequency: 433.92MHz
Receiver voltage: 220/240V / 50Hz / IP20

Customer Reviews for Remote Controlled Mains Sockets 5- Pack

Sort by:

I have used other remote sockets before but these are by far the best. They work every time and unlike others there is both a visual indicator and an audible click to tell you that the socket is turning on or off. It,s a shame that the remote unit only has four switces when there are five plugs in the pack, but I overcame by programming two light sockets to operate from the same switch. Problem solved!! Well done on this one Maplin.

A brilliant bit of kit works well and at this price is a must. The only slight downside is not being able to manualy switch the item on as the recievers have no overide button but this is a minor thing. Nice and neat. Dead easy to sett up infact it was already set up out of the box for the way I wanted it so just plugged it in and it worked..

Came on time and works a traet. I can now switch off all those "On Standby" items with awkward plugs, from almost anywhere in the house. Simple to set up and even simpler to operate.

Using these as a replacement for Bye-Bye standby plugs. They are fairly ugly, but work well. Also can be controlled via an Arduino using a 433mhz chip, so makes them pretty hackable.

I've been using this 5 pack remote control for over 6 months, and think it is one of the best gadgets I have purchased. Each controlled socket have 2 dials and gives you 8 different setting, and the remote has a slide switch at the back to select different channels. So you can control 8 remote sockets from one remote control.

Q: Hi Could you tell me if the remote control pictured with the 5 socket kit is the supplied one as it only goes up to 4!! Cheers Ken

ken shorland - 02/06/2010

Maplin says: Yes it is, you will in effect be controlling 2 sockets of one button. For example you could have two light fittings turning on and off with one button.
