It plugged in like a 3-way outlet expander, and the tree lights were plugged into it. The wires from it were run along the wall to a point where we could reach the switch on the end. Voila! Turn lights on and off without crawling behind/under the tree! Someone should produce the thing in a low-profile form, and the switch could be taped onto the lamp's power cord, near the lamp, where it would be handy. I bought my son a remote-switched outlet adapter for an oscillating fan, but it did involve a battery or two. I'm for the hard-wired ugly gadget! Functional is beautiful! Switching off the A/C

Having both warm and white LEDs in in ONE light make a huge difference. The Koncept lights the quality was either way too yellow or way too white.

Unfortunately, the cost is prohibitive because people prefer to shut off power at the device rather than at the wall socket. This would mean putting the transformer inside the device, which would also require larger switches to meet UL standards. Perhaps the solution is a "brick" which could be shut off via an RF signal generated down the DC wire. That would require a battery in the device to turn it back on. So it goes. As mentioned, the 120VAC LED is the "holy grail" of lighting design . Shutting off the AC power would, of course, be 100% off.
