Touch Remotes for Christmas Lights
Touch remotes for Christmas lights make seasonal displays easier to control, especially when outlets are tucked behind furniture, trees or decorations. The 1225L looks like an ordinary tree ornament. Hang it on a branch, plug its cord into a wall outlet or power strip, and plug the light string into the ornament.
Start with how and where you want to control the lights, then compare remote style, outlet configuration, and indoor or seasonal use.
Remote-controlled Christmas light accessories are best chosen by outlet access, number of displays, and whether the setup is meant for a single room or a full seasonal decorating zone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the touch ornament turn the lights on and off?
The ornament sits between the outlet and the light string. Its cord plugs into a wall outlet or power strip, the lights plug into the ornament, and a touch switches the lights on or off. See the 1225L product page.
How many lights can it control?
The 1225L is rated for up to 1,200 mini lights, with a maximum of 600 watts in total. Add up the wattage of the strings you plug into it and stay under that limit.
Where should I hang it on the tree?
On a branch you can reach easily, since you switch the lights by touching it, and close enough to the outlet or power strip for the cord to reach. It looks like a regular ornament, so it does not have to be hidden.
