Those Brits are a wacky bunch, decorating with tacky wallpaper and now topping it off with some of the most unusual light switches on the planet. Just turn this pool ball, dolphin or Mini Cooper clockwise to turn the lights on, and as you turn, it adjusts brightness, too.
Too bad these are all 400-watt switches, not usable in the US. Maybe this will give some enterprising switchmaker in the States some ideas. If you like to trick out your place with unusual light switches like we do, you'll be eagerly awaiting such a development. Check out three more of the switch choices, including one that's unquestionably our favorite, and then imagine the unlimited possibilities:
We're especially fond of that hippified VW Microbus.

DISCUSSION
If its 400 watts it should still work in the US, its voltage that could matter. North America is 110V and UK I believe is 220V, but as far as switches go it shouldn't matter unless it has a built in light or something.
That being said, I still don't think I'm getting one ;)
