ABSTRACT:
A light switch extension includes a resilient socket member which can be pushed over the end of a wall switch handle, and an elongate extension member depending from the socket so that a child too short to reach the light can operate it without having to climb on furniture or the like. The extension member has at its upper end a ball which, with the socket, forms a universal joint so that the extension can be operated at non-vertical angles, and torque cannot be applied to the switch handle.
