Fake TV Fools Burglars into thinking you're home

Collest Gadgets has picked up on a Fake TV that tricks burglars into thinking you're home.

"The FakeTV uses a variety of colored, flashing LEDs to create the stroboscopic lighting effect which your television gives off while in use. When the burglar struts past your home, they’ll see the FakeTV projecting the flicking light of a typical 27″ television, and they’ll assume that someone is home and move on to the next house.

... When it’s running the FakeTV uses no more power than your average night light."
