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. Touch-sensitive lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch-sensitive_lamp

   Video demonstrating the operation of a 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 ...

   The KosherSwitch seeks to improve upon existing innovations by allowing light fixtures to be triggered on or off as needed by a person acting on Shabbat. According to the manufacturer, the switch is based upon "un-grama" [3] [4] (non grama). The basic idea is that the switch activates only sometimes, and only after a delay, making the action ...

7. Lighting control system - Wikipedia

   For dimmable fluorescent lamps (where it operates instead at 1-10 V, where 1 V is minimum and 0 V is off) the system is being replaced by DSI, which itself is in the process of being replaced by DALI. Examples for digital lighting control systems are: DALI based system. DSI based system; KNX based systems; Those are all wired lighting control ...

8. 3-way lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-way_lamp

   A 3-way lamp, also known as a tri-light, is a lamp that uses a 3-way light bulb to produce three levels of light in a low-medium-high configuration. A 3-way lamp requires a 3-way bulb and socket, and a 3-way switch. In 3-way incandescent light bulbs, each of the filaments operates at full voltage. Lamp bulbs with dual carbon filaments were ...

9. Dimmer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

   Dimming can be almost instantaneous and is easily controlled by remote electronics. This development also made it possible to make dimmers small enough to be used in place (within the pattress) of normal domestic light switches. The switches generate some heat during switching and can also cause radio-frequency interference. [7]
