Australian entrepreneur Bradley Wein had an idea for a device that would make changing halogen lightbulbs, which are trickier to replace than regular bulbs, easy. His ladder-free concept would also eliminate a common cause of injury among the elderly.
Wein approached a team of industrial design students at Swinburne University, who spent eight months developing the concept into a workable prototype. The resultant product, "Down to Earth Lighting," won the People's Choice Awards on Australia's New Inventors program.
How does the device work? Check out the (alas, unembeddable) video here.
