Even if you are unfamiliar with the series, this is definitely a unique way to keep cool (and it’s cheap to boot). An additional image is available after the break.

When you are on a construction site, a siren light usually means that there is danger afoot and it would be wise to keep your distance. The same can be said for this series of air freshener signal lights from homeloo. Each features a pleasant air freshening scent, a revolving signal light and a pen holder on the side. Also available in Police and Fire Service versions (pictured after the break).
