Remote Control Light Switch: No Deal!
January 11th, 2009
Maybe it’s just me, but this wireless remote light switch makes me think of the button you’re supposed to press when you want to keep the money on Deal or No Deal. You know, the one that most of the losers on that show don’t bother to take, even when the offer is well into the 6-figures and they’ve been living on welfare most of their lives.
Designer Tobias Wong’s On/Off light switch will remotely control anything you can plug into an outlet. It’ll work up to 100 feet away from whatever you’ve plugged into the remote receiver.
When you want to turn your lamp on or off, open the magnetized lid on this clear Lucite box and flip the switch. And while it’s perfect for turning lamps on and off, it’s also nifty as a control for launching your nuclear arsenal.
Priced at $150 (USD) for the standard chrome version, and $250 for the limited-edition 14-karat gold version, they’re definitely not cheap. But if you happen to have been smart enough to take the deal from the banker, you can pick one up over at the A+R Store now.

Would have been more fun if it was a big red button.
There’s always this one if you’re looking for big, red, candy-like buttons:

this must be God’s “let there be light” switch.:D
I don’t get how this works. How do you link the lamp to the switch again? Or does it just release a wave of electromagnetic pulse or something that turns everything on/off?
i always watch Deal or No Deal during my past time, what a great show and a great host.,~
