Take for example the "Tio" light switch by Tim Holley that teaches kids about conserving household energy. The light system is mounted to any generic household light switch. Due to the length of time that the light is on, "Tio" will change colors. At his happiest, "Tio" will be green when the light has been on for less than an hour. When the light has been switched on for over four hours, "Tio" turns orange - and he is starting to get mad. At over eight hours, "Tio" turns red and is obviously full of rage. To turn off the light, simple give "Tio" a loving pat.
