Remember the Leviton 'Touch Dimmers' with the silver or gold metallic touch plates, either oval or rectangular??
I remember those Devices!!!
Back in Summer of 1990. I installed a bunch of them on a >10K Sq. Ft. Custom House. Every Switch location had these.
There were Single Pole, Three-Way & Four-Way, Dimming &/or On/Off Toggle configurations.
The ones I installed were the Gold Colored "Decorator" (Rectangular) Touch Responsive Plates.
IIRC, there were Two Dimming Types:
Standard (for Incandescent / Tungsten / Quartz Halogen),
and
Fluorescent (for Dimming Rapid Start Mag Ballasts).
Capacities were something like 1.5A Fluorescent / 300W Tungsten (Std. Capacity), 3.0A Fluorescent / 600W Tungsten (Hi Capacity).
Would like to get a few of the "Pop-Out Outlets" Reno mentions in his OP, along with the "Wave Switch" (I have needed this for many years!!! Right at the Door, for when I have my hands filled with Grocery Bags!!!).
Was going to use a PIR Motion Sensor Wall Switch, but the Cats, Dog and Duck will constantly trigger it On!
