I bet there's an emergency "strobe" you can add onto some of those systems in lieu of the flashing porch light.

I suppose they were thinking it wouldn't be as noticable in the daytime. Maybe they should add a colored smoke generator to it...

It is a neat idea, but someone should come up with a system to interlock it into their medical necklace. The ones you push the button and it notifies the person monitoring that system to call for help. That way if you can't get to the switch you can still activate it with a button. Because if Grandma is on the floor and needs help I doubt she's making it to the light switch to flip it not once, but twice.

If everyone had one and flipped them on and off at the same time, they could have a wicked rave party! Just throw on some 80s techno and go out to the streets. Break out the glow sticks and get it started...

This seems like it could be relatively useful... Even in the day.. So why limit it to after dark only?

Well based on the definition nothing can be worn as a broach.. But I think in clothing it may refer to the thing you use to hold the two sides of a cloth cape together at the neck forming the cape on one end and the hood on the other. Like the small leaf in LOTR

Well seeing as I read this as needing you to flip the switch on then off then on again relatively fast I don't think every house in the neighborhood is going to order pizza or call 911 at the same time.

I'd likely wear this as a broach and I don't even know what a broach is.
