A load control device may be configured to provide a user interface for controlling the intensity and/or color of one or more lighting loads. The user interface may include separate actuation members for setting the intensity and/or color of the lighting loads. The user interface may include one actuation member configured to operate in an intensity and/or color control mode. The control mode of the actuation member may be set via a button, a lever, a rotary switch, a rotary knob, etc. The user interface may include a touch sensitive element capable of sensing a user's touch and translate the touch into a control signal. Feedback may be provided on the user interface to indicate the type of control being adjusted and/or amount of control being applied to the lighting loads.

A promotional product including an emitter is provided. One or more tobacco-containing articles may be received in the package. The promotional product may include an actuator for facilitating delivery of power from a power source to the emitter to provide a visual, audio, and/or haptic effect to the promotional product. The emitter specifically can be a visual emitter, such as an electroluminescent emitter. A related method is also provided.

An operating device (1) having an illuminated level control actuating element, in particular for audio systems, comprising a level control (10) which has an actuating element (40) movable along an adjustment path (20). In the interior, the actuating element (40) comprises a light guiding section (160) by which light coupled into a coupling section (130) on the lower side face of the actuating element (40) is guided to one or more exit zones (170) of the gripping faces (60) of the actuating element (40), and a plurality of illumination means (100) which are controllable for individual positioning are arranged along the adjustment path (20), such that in any position of the level control (10) along the adjustment path (20) the actuating element (40) covers at least one of the illumination means (100) with the lower side face of the actuating element.

A sealing assembly for prevention of ingress of particulates and water into an electrical switch includes an engagement element with a rigid first abutment portion for circumscribing an aperture extending through the outer surface of the switch housing and a rigid first retention portion. Also included is a sealing element being slidingly engageable with the engagement element that includes a first complementary abutment portion. The sealing element is formed from an elastically resilient polymeric material so that sealing engagement with the engagement element occludes passage and ingress of external particulates, dust and water.
