Overview
For some users with arthritis, limited grip strength or finger dexterity, it can be difficult to use a light switch. The Light Switch Extension Lever allows the user to flip the switch without needing any grip strength or nearly as much precision. The lever can then be toggled the same way as the existing switch, but with a much larger arm needing less force and less dexterity.
How To Use
To use, place the slot over the existing toggle switch on the light switch. The lever can then be toggled the same way as the existing switch, but with a much larger arm needing less force and less dexterity.
This switch extension is compatible with any toggle style light switch and has adjustable CAD parameters to accommodate any thickness of switch toggle.
