This has got to be a winner, imagine balancing on the edge of a chair while you try and change a light bulb, only to find that it is still hot or when you put it in the light switch is on and you get blinded by the light?

Well worry no more for there is help out there with the motorized bulb changer, how good is that? Well it is really good reaching up to 17ft high and even has a remote control for those awkward times when you just can’t get to.

With all of the electrical items that we all have today, it will be foolish to think that the wires and cables are a nice addition to your home, so it may be a good idea to find a solution that will do the job in a simple yet cost effective manner.

These lamps do precisely that by covering the messy wires and plugs and at the same time providing a nice warm lamp in the process.

Nothing could be worse than walking up stairs in the dark when suddenly there is a power cut of even just a bulb blows, your stuck half way up the stairs in the total darkness.

These slippers have a powerful long lasting LED bulb in each slipper right at the front, a bit like a couple of headlights on a car, the lights are powered by battery and are light sensitive, so there is no worry of the battery running out of power at the time when you really need it.

The slippers cost a shade under $40 and can be bought online.Product Page [X Treme Geek]
