http://chris.pirillo.com/five-ways-you-can-make-your-home-more-energy-efficient/ Brandon and Jake from LockerGnome stopped by to help me install a dimmer switch for the studio lighting in my home office.

As with any electrical work, it's important to remember to take necessary precautions to avoid the risk of electrical shock, as we demonstrate in this video.

If you touch it with the back of your finger it will resist and push your finger away very fast.
