A Plugin Door Chime with LED Night Light by Carlon (Dimango)
Carlon has shown its ingenuity for home products once again with the wireless doorbell, and nightlight combination. The RC3256 (an RC3253 replacement) is a long-range wireless doorbell chime that does double-duty– without complaining! Similar to the RC3250 plug-in wireless door chime.
Set Up This RC3253 Replacement Wireless Chime Kit in Seconds
Like all the Dimango/Carlon chime products, there’s no wiring needed! Simply plug the receiver into a standard 120 V outlet and mount your door chime button with the included double-sided tape or mounting screws and you are up and running. The chime works flawlessly right out of the box. Need an extra wireless push button? No problem, simply add a Carlon or Dimango branded wireless button and change the tune that the button plays. It just doesn’t get any easier.

A perfect marriage–a plug-in doorbell with a built-in nightlight!
What makes Carlon products a great choice is that they have multiple styles of doorbell receivers and push buttons available to use that are all cross-compatible with one another. What they did with the RC3256 is add an LED night light on the bottom portion of their standard plug-in door chime receiver.
Plug these in hallways or dark areas where you need light to help guide your way.
The RC3256 produces great sound quality.
With a volume control setting of low, medium, or high, you can adjust the volume for the level you need. The nightlight is powered by an always cool-to-the-touch LED that will last for years. You can add more receivers throughout your home, or even use the waterproof battery-powered version out on your patio.
Plugin Night Light Wireless Doorbell Receiver
- This plugin chime features a 2-1/4″ speaker that offers crystal clear sound. The receiver is similar to the RC3253 receiver from Carlon.
- The receiver emits a bright nightlight that is powered by a long-lasting LED bulb. There is no auto-sensor on this nightlight, it always stays on. Because it is LED, it won’t burn out and consumes minimal electricity.
- 32 variable codes block interference from other devices.
- The receiver is capable of playing thirteen different tunes (see below) and is set and changed at the buzzer button.
- One-year warranty.

I ordered this unit to extend the range of my home already installed doorbell. After reading the instructions I simply plugged the unit into an outlet which was on a different level in the home. It works! Now I am able to hear the doorbell throughout the home.
The product description was accurate and the ordering process was easy with prompt shipment. Thank you!
Easy install, sounds great. 5 stars
Ordered replacement for our main level and basement. They were an exact match and I didn’t have to replace the outside button.
This is the second time I’ve bought this door bell. Enough said.

I purchased this kit to replace my old doorbell because I had phantom ringing. This doorbell was as easy to install as advertised and works beautifully. The doorbell button is a solid thick plastic construction. Much more durable than the one I replaced which was from a big box store. I no longer have phantom ringing problem but if it happens again, I can resolve by changing the operating frequency on this doorbell.
I like the sound of the door bell. and convenience of pluging it anywhere in the house while away from the door.
Easy to install and does everything better than the old model. And a good night light to boot!!
I like the different chime choices and with two doorbell buttons I can set each one to a different tone so I know which door is being rung. Added bonus for the nightlight 👍
Works as advertised. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I had to purchase this unit to replace one just like it that failed after a couple years. I hope this one lasts longer.
I called the company to inquire if the new models would be compatible with my old transmitter. I was told all the new models were compatible for the last 13 or so years. (I have forgotten the the year)The year my old one could be found on a small round sticker. Mine was per chased after that year so I was good to go. I did not even have to program it to any new code. The ringers could be a little louder even when on high.
I am happy to say that the replacement wireless doorbell kit and 2 doorbell transmitters are working well. Their help and service were top notch.
The package arrived on time and was as described. It worked immediately.
I’ve had a wireless doorbell chime for many years. It stopped working after a very long time. I got the telephone number from the back of my old doorbell chime and ordered a new one. It works great. Now I can hear the doorbell again. Thank you!!
I have been using this doorbell for many years and needed to replace the doorbell in another part of the house. It has worked well for me over the years.
I highly recommend this doorbell.
Doorbell receivers work great. We can hear the doorbell throughout the house.
Works great at a good price!
The site where I ordered this product is one of the few sites I have ever visited that gives more than adequate information about the product to make sure that I would get a model that would work with the older model that I purchased five or so years ago. I took it right out of the box, read the concise instructions, plugged it in, and it worked like a charm. Thanks so much!
Worked perfectly first time.
