The replacement process is relatively simple and easy. To solve this, you will need a new touch-control box, pliers, screwdriver, and tape and you will need to restart your touch lamp.
If you want to reset your touch lamp you can do so by replacing the touch control. As we mentioned previously, you will need a new touch-control box, pliers, screwdriver, and tape for the reset. Here is how the process goes:. Interestingly enough, with touch control, you can easily turn your regular lamp into a touch control lamp. If you want to turn your home lamp into a touch lamp you will need to get a three-way touch control module which you will wire inside the lamp.
Make sure that you turn on the lamp and unplug it, then move it to a sturdy surface before you start removing the bottom, opening it up, and wiring the base. Also while you are working inside it, be extra careful as you will have to cut through the lamp cords; additionally, make sure that you wrap the ribbed wires with colorful pieces of tape that will help you know which of the wires is the neutral wire.
You can find many instructions online which in detail explain the entire process, and give you specific instructions on how much to cut off and what to do to turn your regular lamp into a touch lamp.
Nevertheless, if you want to play it safe and not waste your time trying to build one, you can buy a touch lamp from the store. All you need to do is decide which type! When it comes to buying a touch lamp we are truly spoiled for choice as you will see from all of the different types of touch lamps below and of course, each type of lamp also has an offshoot of a variety of styles as well providing you with hundreds of different shapes, colors, designs, and even animals to choose from.
Animal touch lamps are one of the cutest touch lamps. These models have a glass on their base and the glass is carved with animal print; animal touch lamps come in many different colors which you can change. You simply touch the base to turn the lights on. Besides animals, there can be also carved cars, flowers, and other objects like basketball, cartoon characters, etc. These touch lamps are great as gifts, since they are perfect for desks or beds, and are adored by both kids and adults.

Touch lamps can come in different colors as well. Usually, these lamps have a cylindrical shape that simply transitions between the shade and the base, almost merging the two. Some models of the color touch lamps also have wireless speakers; on the top of the lamp there is a circle made from a different material than the shade and you simply touch it to turn the lamp on and off or change the colors to suit the occasion.
There are different models: some include different levels of brightness: light, medium, and bright; others have fixed light mode with 6 colors and a dynamic mode; and third include both options.
Choose whatever works for you the best and enjoy the light that comes in different colors. Battery touch lamps use batteries as their power source. These are without cords which makes them a lot safer and easier to move around without worrying whether there is a power outlet nearby.
When you take your hand away, the lamp goes back to its original capacitance so that it will be ready to detect the next change in capacitance and activate the electrical switch again.
Many touch lamps can emit light in multiple brightness settings without the benefit of three-way light bulbs.
When you touch these lamps, they don't just cycle off and on; they go from dark to brightest to second brightest to dimmest. When the lamp is set on these dimmed settings, the power source is actually turning itself off and on in rapid succession. By cycling off and on many times per second, the light level appears to the naked eye to be consistent. They certainly have advantages, and the most important is the fact that dirt and moisture cannot get into the switch to gum it up or damage it.
Over the years, many different properties of the human body have been used to flip touch-sensitive switches:. Touch-sensitive lamps almost always use a fourth property of the human body -- its capacitance. The word "capacitance" has as its root the word "capacity" -- capacitance is the capacity an object has to hold electrons.
The lamp, when standing by itself on a table, has a certain capacitance. This means that if a circuit tried to charge the lamp with electrons, it would take a certain number to "fill it. It takes more electrons to fill you and the lamp, and the circuit detects that difference. It is even possible to buy little plug-in boxes that can turn any lamp into a touch-sensitive lamp.
They work on the same principle. Many touch-sensitive lamps have three brightness settings even though they do not use three-way bulbs. The circuit is changing the brightness of the lamp by changing the "duty cycle" of the power reaching the bulb.
