ABSTRACT:
An improved light switch assembly and a method for its use, wherein the improvement comprises an extension comprising a rod attached on one of its ends to a ring, with the ring being suspended from a hole formed near the end of the lever component of a conventional toggle-type light switch assembly. Applications may include, but are not limited to, use by children for autonomous use of toggle-type light switches, use by an elderly or infirm person who has fallen to signal for help by blinking the light associated with the switch, and use by people restricted to wheelchairs to avoid the expense of lowering electrical switches in a home to a position within their reach.
