2. Light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

   The toggle light switch was invented in 1916 by William J. Newton. [2] As a component of an electrical wiring or home wiring system, the installation of light switches is regulated by some authority concerned with safety and standards. In different countries the standard dimensions of the wall mounting hardware (boxes, plates, etc.) may differ.

3. Wireless light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_light_switch

   Dimmer light switch with RF-based remote control [1] A wireless light switch is a light switch that commands a light or home appliance to turn itself off or on, instead of interrupting the power line going to the light fixture. There are different ways to communicate between the switch and the fixture: [2]

4. Dimmer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

   When the dimmer is at 50% power, the switches are switching their highest voltage (>325 V in Europe) and the sudden surge of power causes the coils on the inductor to move, creating a buzzing sound associated with some types of dimmer; this same effect can be heard in the filaments of the incandescent lamps as "singing". The suppression ...

5. Lagotek - Wikipedia

   based on any number of touch-screen controllers, mounted into a standard 2-gang switch boxes of a new or a remodel home; these controllers communicate through Wi-Fi with Z-Wave power outlets, dimmers, switches and other devices; each controller acts as a server, enhancing the system's reliability, while devices also act as repeaters, increasing ...

6. 0-10 V lighting control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0-10_V_lighting_control

   The switch is controlled by a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal, which alternately turns the switch on and off at a rapid rate. The relative proportion of off time vs. on time determines brightness. For example, if the switch is off 10% of the time, the resulting control signal would be the equivalent of 1 V produced with a variable resistor.

7. Touch-sensitive lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch-sensitive_lamp

   A touch-sensitive lamp is a combination of a lamp and a touch switch. They act on the principle of body capacitance, activated by human touch rather than a flip, push-button, or other mechanical switch. They are popular as desk and nightstand lamps. Touch-sensitive lamp switches may be dimmable, allowing the brightness of the lamp to be ...
