I recently bought a clapper for my bedroom lamp, because it's not within reach of my bed. I now understand why it only had a 30 day warranty, because that is about as long as it lasted. I would get another, but see no reason if that is to be expected. I'm wondering if anyone has had better luck?
So your clapper has clapped out ?(Sorry about the awful pun.)
I've no experience of sound-operated switches, but can't you move it so that it IS in reach of your bed? You could try using a plug-in timer or, if you feel confident enough, how about wiring a switch onto a lead that is long enough to reach your bed and then make the appropriate connections within the lamp so that you can turn it on/off with that switch?
There are remote outlets like these:
Amazon.com: Wireless Remote Control Outlet Switch Socket 3 Pack (3 Outlets) * BATTERY INCLUDED *: Home Improvement
That I think would serve you much better. This way, the clap (rofl) is not involved in any way... at least relating to the lamp.
Never had a clapper, but never heard anything bad about them
Got a Star Trek voice activated light dimmer, never had any probs with that...

I want to know if the Star Trek dimmer works with only Federation speak or also responds to Kligon and Romulan?
