I want to be able to turn on the lights on my Jacobs 56 "Lite up" machine without having to have the machine cooling. I think it would be cool & fun to be able to walk up and turn the lights on with a mere touch. I'd enjoy doing this almost as much as vending a cold soda! :drinking: Title: Re: Capacitive touch switch Post by: tkaz on June 05, 2016, 09:25:39 pm Home Depot sells the switches, very easy to install, as long as you are using incandescent bulbs, they won't work with flourescent
