Light control switches are devices designed to manage the operation of lighting fixtures, enabling users to turn lights on or off, adjust brightness, and customize light settings. These switches integrate with home automation systems, allowing for remote control and scheduling through smartphones or voice commands. Light control switches improve energy efficiency, convenience, and the overall atmosphere of a space.

The two main types of light control switches are regular switches and dimmers. Dimmer switches, specifically, enable users to adjust the brightness of connected light fixtures by altering the voltage waveform applied to the lamp. This modulation allows for flexible control over the intensity of light output. Light control solutions come in standalone and integrated forms. Additionally, various light sources like incandescent, fluorescent, high-intensity discharge, light-emitting diode, and compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) find application in diverse settings such as residential, commercial, industrial, highways and roadways lighting, architectural lighting, and public places.
