Quick solution for an annoying problem:
my little sons bedside lamp has an IKEA smartbulb which activates after dark and dims in the night, basically going from a reading to a night light. I designed this small protector to keep the lamp from getting shut off accidentally because the switch rests on the bedside table and due to the short cable cannot be placed elsewhere. So if my son throws his books or toys on the table he would often hit the switch...
I know I could have solved this simpler, but 10 min tinkercad and 1hr printing time is rather simple ;)
