"The Society for the Presentation of Inefficient Mechanical Devices Presents The Totally Unnecessary Overly Redundant & Mechanically Superfluous Light Switch Complicator

"Obsolete Construction Methods, Substandard Materials, Inefficient Wooden Mechanism, Difficult to Install Properly, May Not Fit Your Lifestyle Or Match Your Drapes

"In Box: This is exactly the same device Leonardo DaVinci might have used had electric lighting been invented in his time.

"Hand Made in the USA by Ernie Fosselius. One Of A Kind Sculpture, Numbered, Dated, and Signed By The Artist."

I want them in my home.

Ernie was at the '07 maker fair pedaling around on his mechanical theater, of which this complicator is a part. My brief chat with him was the highlight of the day; he's deeply fascinating as well as a real nice guy.
