I have a 240v 'capacitance touch sensor' light switch, see I LumoS Luxury Crystal Glass 1 Gang 1 Way Touch On/Off LED Light Switches | eBay The blurb states a minimum load of 3 watts. It works perfectly when used to switch...
I have a touch light switch, and noticed that in the coldest months of January (UK here) that sometimes it wouldn't work. I though that this may be down to my hands being too cold but even after washing them under warm water the switch wouldn't work, not for fifteen minutes or so, perhaps the...

Wondred if anyone had experience of step and touch voltage measurement and what values are normally measured in the field. Did a test today and got a value of 12.1V for Touch and 31.4V for step potential. Wondered if this was inline with the "Norm".
Not fitted any before and was just after some advice. Been asked if i can fit one for a customer having a rewire done. In there living room they currently have a four gang switch, four wall lights switched in pairs and two centre lights switched seperately. They want to keep this arrangement but...
Hi more of a DIY question but i thought might be better answered here. My dad bought 3 digital timers for his lamps. I have programmed these to the times he wants and tested with a regular lamp with on/off switch, my question is would these timers work with a touch to turn on lamp as my...
