A Bizarre Invention: The Socket Fanlight
Bell + Howell, a purveyor of "As Seen on TV" gewgaws, sells this bizarre thing:
The Socket Fanlight reportedly puts out 1,000 lumens of 5,000K light, and the diameter of the fan is 15.4". It's operated by wireless remote and runs $45.
Convenience of installation aside, the Amazon reviews note that a) the thing simply doesn't move a lot of air, and b) "if [your sockets are] not fairly tight they will wobble during fan operation."

Need more articles that are about hilariously bad design ideas like this, the unintentional comedy is great.
The wobbling could cause wire chafing, and lead to a fire.
