Give your home a different type of luster with the use of crystals for light switches. The Berker TS Crystal Ball is for those looking to glam up the usually hum drum task of flipping a switch into a luxury experience, complete with glimmering Swarovski crystal in your choice of customizable colors.

They work via a touch-sensitive optical reflection sensor located underneath the crystal.

With the proper connections, a mobile phone can send a simple text message to a computer and turn off the lights.

Control Lights with Twitter from Justin Wickett on Vimeo

Using Twitter, a new social networking site, you can set up your laptop and connect it to your light switches (or any other electrical device) and control the device by sending text messages to your twitter account. It’s a fairly simple setup using this software which controls this hightech lightswitch (which is suprisingly affordable)
