We got a Philips Hue wireless dimmer switch and bulb for our bedroom in 2017 and it has not failed us once. It's not an Internet of Things gadget that requires using your smartphone to turn on a light bulb. It's just a wireless switch that you stick to your wall.

Mechanical engineering isn't for everybody, but for students… READ THE REST

The GoFish Cam lets anglers see what's really happening underwater. And it records video too.
