Magnetic Switch & Outlet Cover for Flat Modern Switches, 6 Pack

I use these to cover rocker switches that are no longer needed after I installed remote style ceiling fans. I also use them in my house entryway as I have a switch for my outdoor lights. I had installed photo sensor light bulbs in my outdoor fixtures so I need no one to accidentally shut off the switch which would mean the lights wouldn’t come on themselves at dusk. It’s nice to have the lights come on when I’m not home so it looks like I’m home and lights the entryway if I get home in the dark. Been using these at my last 3 houses.

It fit perfectly over a switch plate with two, small toggle switches.

Great for fixtures with remotes or security lights so they are not turned off accidentally

If you are wondering about the meaning of the brand name, here is a product that was invented out of necessity as a way to avoid the oops... I accidentally shut the light on Shabbos. With its quick release magnets it can completely cover a wall switch in seconds and be removed just as fast. As with most good inventions it has now found its place into the general marketplace as a way for anyone to prevent their wall switch from being switched on and off.Among some of the reasons you might want to cover a light switch might be because it keeps getting bumped accidentally, or you want to discourage someone like kids from playing with the switch or maybe the most common these days, you own a smart device or anything that forgets its memory when you turn the power off, then this gadget is a necessity.I would have thought that there would be hundreds of companies trying to get in on this lucrative market but actually there are very few choices, most them seem to be for traditional toggle light switches. The two major choices for the modern flat paddle switches are either this one that sticks magnetically to the switch plate cover or another available style (that is double the price) that fastens semi-permanently. I wanted occasional access to the switch so I chose this one. Knowing that my unique wall switches don’t have any metal for the magnet to stick to I knew upfront I would have to make a slight modification.Not a fault of this product but due to the unique design of my wall switches I had to improvise by cutting two very small tabs from a roll of adhesive magnetic tape and creating landing pads for the cover to stick to. It works perfectly.This is nice solution to a common need and I’m glad to see it available. Coming from a small family company I had hopes they would be making it right in Brooklyn but it’s actually made in China. I know there are extra costs involved in marketing online and I hope that explains why an item I can pick up in NYC for under three bucks costs almost five here. That makes it a little pricey but specially items usually are and I only needed one so I ordered it anyway. The first impression isn’t that good, the hanger card is dirty and greasy and looks like it was dragged through the streets. But it does what it is supposed to and that’s the bottom line for me.

The magnets are very strong on this and it's great because you don't have to really fiddle with them to put them on. They hold on firmly. My daughter just takes them off because she's too old and knows how to do it but if you are trying to keep younger kids from taking them off it would be very effective.

I wanted to install the Phillips Hue lights, which requires the lights to be constantly on. I can always re-wire for a perm connection but in the home that I am in, we are planning to move in 3-4 years, so I didn't want to make any perm changes the the house wiring. Also when we moved in, I replaced every out and switch in the house with the new modern style of light switch. So a cover that I could easily revert back to stock was just what i wanted. These cover simply attach through magnets, so they "snap on" to the existing switch. They cover the single up/down flip switch and the double side to side switches. I think they are a bit expensive, but other than that they work well.

These are perfect for protecting your light switches from being turned off/on. What ever the reason for your need: small children, religious- this works great!

So I've been automating our home over time, and one of the compromises I've made is that in some circumstances I prefer the ease of using smart bulbs instead of the hassle of replacing/rewiring wall switches. This works great EXCEPT I have a house full of people who don't really track the details of what's been done, and have a tendency to flip off light switches when they leave an area, rendering the bulb automation useless.I finally broke down and said to myself, self, either figure out a way to prevent the switch-offs, or just bite the bullet and move to an all-switch solution and abandon smart bulbs altogether. I figured my search for a solution would be difficult, and I envisioned the most likely outcome being me deciding to 3D print some kind of covers because I doubted I'd find anything that fit my requirements.Boy, was I wrong. These things are fantastic. First of all, they're reasonably priced. Second, they attach magnetically to the cover place screws, meaning easy-on/easy-off, so if/when we actually need to use a switch it's a trivial matter to pop this cover off, use the switch, and pop it back on.If I had one suggested improvement it's that I'd prefer stronger magnets, but so far they've stayed in place during daily use, although I can see some inadvertent dislocations happening in the future. But, given how inexpensive they are I'm not dinging the review stars for this, just constructive feedback to the seller/manufacturer.
