Touch Sensitive Switch Turning Itself On

About five years ago I built a curio cabinet for my wife with two
internal puck lamps. *The lamps are controlled by a small, round, dome
shaped touch switch on the back of the cabinet. The switch adjusts
from low, medium to high intensity with gentle touch. *During the past
week or so I have noticed the lamps are turned onto the low intensity
without the switch being touched. *We have experienced at least one
brief power interruption during this period.
Has anyone had experience with these types of switches doing this? *I
am assuming there are no safety concerns.

HUMIDITY MAY BE A FACTOR....I LIKE THEM, BUT I'D REMOVE IT...A SHORT
ANYWHERE NEAR THAT CIRCUIT MAY HAVE AFFECTED THE ELECTRONIC SWITCHES
INTERNAL COMPONENTS....A REGULAR DIMMER MAY BE BETTER.
