Voice-activated light

If you've ever bumped into furniture while reaching in the dark for a lamp, you may be a candidate for IntelaVoice, the world's first voice-activated light switch.

Using its patented state-of-the-art speech recognition technology, the IntelaVoice, $29.95, lets you turn on lights as well as radios and TVs with a simple one-word command (such as "lights") from as far away as 20 feet.

The IntelaVoice - which responds to anyone's command - is a stand-alone unit that looks like a computer mouse and is comparable in size.  You plug it into a standard outlet and then plug any lamp or small appliance, with up to 150 watts of power, into the IntelaVoice.
