Nice but won't work with European light switches.....seems it covers the (ugly) US style light switches and simply works mechanically.

yeah, but if you really really want it you could install the ugly US switch and then put this gadget on it   :wink:

installing a US (120V) switch in a European 230V electrical installation is a bad idea. Uunsafe, not allowed according to the European norms and thus an insurance risk. ....

Yes that could well be, they use 240VAC for cooking there...

Wow, cool! :)

But ...maybe a little bit 'too much' IMHO...  :P
