I’m new to this country. Can someone please tell me what this is? is in my apartment next to the entrance door, but doesn’t do anything special when I push it.

1. To find the switch in the dark.

2. The White one turns on the light, the Red one is so you can find it

3. We have an identical one in our apartment. It turns on the light in the stairwell/by the elevator .

   In fact, it looks so much like ours that, combined with your comment about installing lamps, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if you’re our new neighbour.

4. Since it is near the entrance, it is for the stairwell lights.

5. It’s an indicator. If it’s dark you can find that lamp and it is next to the button that turns on the light.

6. I have a similar one. Mine lights up on the power is on. It is useful since the contact is connected to a light outside, while the switch itself is indoors.

7. Nobody knows, it’s just there.

8. You didn’t push it, did you?

   Did you?

   **¿ESTÁS COMPLETAMENTE LOCA?**

9. It’s the same switches all over Denmark, most people install [LK FUGA](https://www.harald-nyborg.dk/el-og-belysning?brand=LK&pagesize=144) switches.

   [Your switch](https://www.harald-nyborg.dk/lk-fuga-afbryder-1-pol-med-lampe) is for public spaces, stairwells etc., so the lights turn off automatically after a set time. You can’t trust people to turn off the lights in public spaces.

10. it spawns the demon that chases you up the stairs, *Run*

11. Everytime you push it, something happens, somewhere…

12. It’s a light

13. It’s HAL’s little Danish cousin

14. It’s calling a priest

15. As others have mentioned it’s to switch on the light, with the red light to help you find it.

    There has been a development toward automatic lights. And sometimes the switches say, because it’s cheaper than removing them.

    So it might do nothing.

16. This is just a nice little lamp we have here in DK

17. Depends on how you wore it, it can also be wired as only on when the light is on, ie. used as an indication to remember to turn off the lights in the basement

18. The white one is for humans, the red one is for the spirits. Good luck

19. It reacts with the microchips in your blood to check you in.

20. It’s the State watching you…

21. Yeah my light keeps turning of and on so could you stop pushing it?

22. YOU PUSHED IT?!? NEVER PUSH THE RED LIGHT BUTTON!!

23. That’s the self-destruct button

24. It’s a ‘glimlampe’ so that you can identify where to turn in the light in a dark stairway or hallway. It can also be wired to indicate if light is on or off – this would be used on toilets as a courtesy thing.

25. Every time you push it a baby seal turns into mittens.

26. Turns on and off the respirator at a random hospital. How many times have you pressed it?
