I have a table lamp which lights, changes brightness & goes off in response
to touching it.

Perfect for where it's used, but it's pink! The base seems to be some
kind of pottery. If I paint it with emulsion - will it still work?

just switch it on and off with 100w of RF ..........


Someone for sure will suggest an Arduino, a load of optical interfaces,
power supply and leads ... about 10x the price of the lamp and ugly as
sin .... to do the same thing.
