Been bugged with some sorts of novelty lighting that feature switches and knobs you can never find? Feel like thrashing all those things and settle on something more convenient? Well, relax. There is one new solution that will work as convenient and comfortable as you can imagine – the touch lamps.
A touch lamp is a novelty lighting type that is designed to possess the clever qualities imaginable for a lighting fixture. This clever lamp works only by a touch control and is perfect for almost all kinds of setting. The downside, however, is that unlike the other lighting fixtures available on the market today, the touch lamps don’t work to illuminate an entire room. They are just there to provide one corner the level of brightness it deserves. It is for this reason that the touch lamps are often associated with that of the lamp shades.
The touch sensitive lamps, as they are also commonly known, are often used as a table centerpiece. These touch table lamps possess three-way brightness settings that allow you to control the level of brightness it provides. The first tap signals the lamp to turn on its low level, while the second is for the medium level, and the third is for high. The fourth time you tap it will lead the touch lamp to set off. It is this setting that leads people to distinguish the touch sensitive lamps as the one touch lamps or the 3-way touch lamps.
But, how do the table touch lamps work to light a corner of a room?
Well, there is one main principle behind that function. According to several studies, the lamps work the moment you touch it because of its touch sense circuitry and other body parts, including a metal antenna, flip flop memory bit, the switch, bulb and power supply. The circuitry is basically what reacts immediately after the tap you made to it. As soon as it reacts, it will detect a high current passing and going through the metal antenna and it is from there where the system transmits a signal to its memory circuit. The lamp will only turn on and off once that signal is transmitted.
There are several advantages of using the touch sensitive lamps. In the first, they are easy to use and maintain. It is already given that they work in just a matter of touch. In relation to that, a touch lamp is easy to install and the bulb is even easy to change. In fact, you don’t need to get any wiring or tools just to make the work done. Best of all, touch lamps don’t collect dirt and other harmful particles which will affect the circuit and the switch. As a result, your unit is free from anything that can damage it.
With all such advantages, it’s no wonder that today touch lamps are being produced in massive numbers. They are made available in different styles and designs, plus the fact that they are crafted from different materials, including ceramics, metal, brass, wood, plastic, and glass. Of the styles available out there, you can find the traditional brass touch table lamps setting the trend for the most popular novelty lighting materials. This particular product comes in all shapes and sizes though, but all are deemed to be of great quality since they are made of brass, which is but resistant to rust and the likes. They are not even susceptible to leaking and breakage, making them further perfect.
You can now find the brass touch lamps and other sorts of this touch sensitive lighting option in varying prices on the market. They are made available usually for a price of about $15 and above.
