The Clapper Sound Activated On/Off Switch enables you to turn on and off various home appliances by merely clapping your hands twice or thrice. This device has two outputs two claps and three claps. With two claps you can switch on the appliance attached to the two-clap output, and with three claps you can turn on the device attached to the three-clap output. This clap sensitive switch features lights that glow when proper claps are detected. It also features a sound sensitivity dial that can be adjusted for soft or loud claps. This noise-activated switch can be plugged into standard light sockets. These lapper switches can also serve as limited security devices when they are turned on and placed in the Away mode. Switch on and off your home appliances from the comfort of your couch with this clap sensitive light switch.

The same back to you on blindness, if it is okay to you Snowden lied and stole rhen it should be Thinkingabout Aug 2013 #69

That's not the same thing at all. Snowden was not appointed by the administration to investigate totodeinhere Aug 2013 #82

Well at least we have established Snowden was not appointed by the admistration to investigate Thinkingabout Aug 2013 #100

Why do you keep coming back to Snowden. This is not about him. totodeinhere Aug 2013 #101

Clapper has much more integrity than Snowden could ever gain in this life, Clapper has worked in Thinkingabout Aug 2013 #103

Who in the American media would he give the info to? The big networks would never buck their MIC Erose999 Aug 2013 #81

Ok so let's say that we agree that we cant trust Snowden. What does that have to do with rhett o rick Aug 2013 #86

Glad you can agree you can't trust Snowden, I was pointing out this group who runs behind Snowden Thinkingabout Aug 2013 #96

"Clapper has much more integrity than Snowden will ever have." And you know that how? rhett o rick Aug 2013 #102
