2. Dimmer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

   Since semiconductor or solid-state dimmers switch quickly between a low resistance "on" state and a high resistance "off" state, they dissipate very little power compared with the controlled load. Most recently, software programmable internal dimmers can use signals from the same switch that turns lights on and off to control dimming.

3. 3-way lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-way_lamp

   A key switch 3-way socket has the switch incorporated in the lamp socket and requires no external wiring between switch and socket. This would be typical in a 3-way floor-standing floor lamp. A 3-way socket that is to be wired to a separate 3-way 2-circuit switch, is called a keyless 3-way socket. [4]

   A 230-volt LED filament lamp, with an E27 base. The filaments are visible as the eight yellow vertical lines. An assortment of LED lamps commercially available in 2010: floodlight fixtures (left), reading light (center), household lamps (center right and bottom), and low-power accent light (right) applications An 80W Chips on board (COB) LED module from an industrial light luminaire, thermally ...

5. Light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

   Two light switches in one box. The switch on the right is a dimmer switch. The switch box is covered by a decorative plate. The first light switch employing "quick-break technology" was invented by John Henry Holmes in 1884 in the Shieldfield district of Newcastle upon Tyne. [1]

6. LED circuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_circuit

   Simple LED (Light Emitting Diode) circuit diagram. In electronics, an LED circuit or LED driver is an electrical circuit used to power a light-emitting diode (LED). The circuit must provide sufficient current to light the LED at the required brightness, but must limit the current to prevent damaging the LED.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

   As of 2011, some LED bulbs provide up to 150 lm/W and even inexpensive low-end models typically exceed 50 lm/W, so that a 6-watt LED could achieve the same results as a standard 40-watt incandescent bulb. The lower heat output of LEDs also reduces demand on air conditioning systems.
