The Secret Passageway Switch Uses a Real Book to Turn on Lamps

The Secret Passageway Switch introduces a little mystery to one's home. The Secret Passageway Switch is a rather romantic and Gothic notion that will not only add character to homes, but also a little lighthearted fun for its users.

Created by B.Light Designs, the Secret Passageway Switch works rather simply. A basic rig, it needs only to be hooked up to a lamp, placed on a shelf with a real book carefully placed on the actual activator and whenever that book is tilted, the light is then turned on. Turning an everyday action into something much more fun, the Secret Passageway Switch will surely be the hit of any home.

For those who love to read and do not enjoy the dark, this design will go perfectly in your room.
