The standard light switch doesn't generate much excitement when turning the lights on or off, but when you grab the joystick of this cool new Power-Up : Arcade Light Switch Plate you'll feel like you were warped back to a classic 1980s arcade. Just swap your current switch plate with this one (no complicated wiring or electrician skills needed) and the joystick acts as the switch, while the two red buttons play arcade sound effects. No pixelated aliens or ghosts will be zapped in the process, but at least you'll feel a slight twinge of fun. Check out the video below to see it in action.
