fuse box | GIZMODO.cz

When it comes to stuff around your house, fuse boxes are pretty boring. They aren’t supposed to look good. They’re just supposed to be functional. However, if you are turning your home into a replica of the Ghostbusters’ HQ, why not make your fuse box look like it is straight out of the movie?

This awesome concept is called the Ecto Containment Unit and is the work of Dave’s Geeky Ideas. It is a simple shell that can be built around your existing fuse box, so you don’t have to worry about electrocuting yourself while you install it.

This is an awesome way for Ghostbusters fans to hide that ugly fuse box and have some fun at the same time. Now all you need is a pole you can slide down to check the fuse box.

Fuse is a fresh approach to the design of a product that has remained largely unchanged since its inception. Consumer units, or fuse boxes, are the focal points for electricity installed in a building. They serve to distribute power and interrupt the supply if an electrical fault is detected. Fuse has been carefully designed for both the electrician and the homeowner, irrespective of electrical knowledge. The smart display and accompanying app provide a new level of consciousness in active monitoring of energy consumption, and enable improved identification and simpler rectification of system faults. The use of standard internal components ensures that the installation and configuration of Fuse is in line with industry standards.

Fuse was awarded Silver at the 2015 Braun Prize and also won a RedDot Award.

Designer: Daniel Salisbury
