What is a touch lamp?
Touch lamp is a lamp that can be activated by simply touching the lamp rather than overturning the switch. Touch lamps are commonly used as a bedside table, because it is so easy to turn them on in the dark. Usually, the whole lamp is sensitive to the touch, including the base, neck and shares, all of which are metal.
Another advantage of the touch lamp is that it can turn a standard bulb into a three -way bulb. Clicking on the lamp once causes the bulb radiation to 33% of its rated capacity; Tap it twice to bring it to 66%; And the third tap results in full power. For example, a 60 watt bulb can be used as 20-watt, 40-watt and 60-watt three-way bulb. In this way, the touch lamp provides practical low -lighting conditions for the eyes that have adapted to the darkness, while offering clearer reading or bandage conditions, all from the standard bulb.
The design of the touch lamp is another plus, so it is durable and reliable. External switches to Traditional Lamps can be timeM dirty, fill with dust, divert skin cells and oils. The switch with a rubber switch can eventually make the lamp unnecessary, or at least make it unpredictable. Touch lamps, without external switches and exclusion of physical damage, continue to function as new throughout their lives.
As far as potential disadvantages are concerned, the touch lamp may not be ideal where it is likely to be promoted, pushed, manipulated or unintentionally contacted often, for example next to the computer or on the table, as it may be unpleasant every time to "tap". The passing cat of pets can also activate the lamp and waste electricity. One way to avoid the second situation is the use of the power strip with the switch switch on/off and switches the power before leaving home. Disconnecting the lamp also works, but it's more difficult.
Touch lamp works on the principle of capacity . ChapAcitance refers on the capacity of the building holds electrons or electric charge. AC switches (A/C) inside the lamp are influenced by touch, because the body of the person is mostly made of water and is therefore a fair conductor of electricity. When you touch the lamp, the oscillator responds to a mandatory change, which activates the switch to turn on or off the light.
Touch lamps are available at reasonable prices, starting with less than $ 20 (USD) and are available wherever luminaires are sold. Touch lamps also sell department stores and compositions to improve houses.
