Abstract
An portable electric switching device plugged in series with a wall switch controlled electrical outlet and the power cord plug of a lamp or appliance formerly plugged into that same outlet, allowing the lamp or appliance to always be able to be “turned on” by the wall switch controlling that same electrical wall outlet, even when the lamp or appliance is itself turned “off” at it's remote location. This device requires no additional power to operate other than that supplied by the above switched outlet.
