    OK, not strictly "Smart Home", but certinally smart thinking.

    Why is this genius not available in a UK socket?

    I'd probably change nearly every socket in the house if they were.

    It isn't just the different shape, the concept wouldn't work with a UK socket.

    You could have a UK socket with lights integrated in it, but it would require replacing the complete socket, not just the cover.

    I'd be ok with replacing the complete socket. I was going to replace them all with metal ones anyway.

    Not exactly the same thing but this passthrough nightlight may be suitable.

    Btw the red neons on MK sockets nearly light a room on their own.
