But, there is something even better out. It is a light dimmer that
responds to touch of any metal part of a lamp.

What is cool about these dimmer on off switches is that you can even put
the sense wire into the dirt of a potted plant. Touching any leaves on
the
plant will activate the lamp switch circuit.


And let the plant figure out how to control the lamp? That's giving a lot
of power to the plant!


There's nothing wrong with power plants- we'd be screwed without them ;-)
