Plug Label is a glow-in-the-dark identification system for plugs that also allows them to be easily levered out of their sockets.

Our use of multi-socket power boards can result in great confusion when it comes to identifying and pulling out a particular plug. The challenge is even greater when the power board is tucked away behind a desk, in a corner, or in a dark spot. The luminous Plug Label provides a convenient identification system for plugs, but it also offers another convenience.

The design makes use of the principle of leverage, so that a plug can be pulled out with one hand. (Typically, we would need to apply force to the power board with one hand, while pulling out the plug with the other hand.) Pressing down on Plug Label causes the plug to be leveraged out of its socket. Plug Label is made with ABS plastic, and its thickness is varied to achieve both hardness and elasticity.
