Awesome light switches

I saw the linked post some time back, and then something came up on a FB forum I am on. Not a great forum, but sometimes good ideas pop up.

Steampunk Light Switch Covers, Widest Selection on Switch Hits

NOT MY WORK! just really cool.

Continuing the discussion from Giant Wooden Gears:

@Lauren

That’s awesome-- the aesthetic reminds me of this lightswitch: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/art-deco-toggle-switch

which I have installed in my house. (We also have one of the planetary gears steampunk lightswitches!)

I have to say, the cityscape you’re working on is also gorgeous.

Love that idea!

Really cool but unfortunately UK switches don’t stick out like that. so it would have to be redesigned to push rather than flick which I imagine would be trickier.

All the more reason to move to one of the colonies @Jack

I’ve actually been looking at designs similar to these. Hoping to make one with pull strings so my kids can turn on their own light. The planetary gear idea might be just what I need.
