Thirteen parts, one light switch. For the tinkerers who would rather build a chain-reaction contraption than walk across the room: a vintage patent sheet for an Apparatus for Turning On a Light, where a plunger launches a ball down a ramp into dominoes, into a funnel and chute, into a bucket that drops and pulls the switch. Alternative embodiment: use hand (not claimed).
