A remote control device is provided that is configured for use in a load control system that includes one or more electrical loads. The remote control device includes a mounting structure and a control unit, and the control unit is configured to be attached to the mounting structure in a plurality of different orientations. The control unit includes a user interface, an orientation sensing circuit, and a communication circuit. The control unit is configured to determine an orientation of the control unit via the orientation sensing circuit. The control unit is also configured to translate a user input from the user interface into control data to control an electrical load of the load control system based on the orientation of the control unit and/or provide a visual indication of an amount of power delivered to the electrical load based on the orientation of the control unit.

A tilt ball switch has a chamber space, and includes a first terminal, a second terminal including two outer terminal members and an inner terminal member, and a conductive ball movably disposed in the chamber space and convertible between a conducting state, in which the conductive ball is in contact with the first terminal and the inner terminal member so that the first terminal is conductively connected to the outer terminal members, and a non-conducting state, in which the conductive ball is prevented from being in contact with one of the first terminal and the inner terminal member so that the first terminal is prevented from being conductively connected to the outer terminal members.

A rolling-ball tilt switch includes a conductive housing having an inner surface that surrounds a longitudinal axis and that defines a roller cavity, an insulating seat inserted into the roller cavity, a conductive terminal having a protruding section extending through the insulating seat into the roller cavity, and a conductive rolling-ball disposed in the roller cavity and movable between a conducting position and a non-conducting position. The longitudinal axis and an extension of a surface portion of the inner surface of the conductive housing cooperatively define an angle ranging from 5 to 55 degrees.

A tilt ball switch includes an insulation housing, a conductive ball, and two conductive terminals that cooperate with the insulation housing to define a chamber space. Each of the conductive terminals includes an inner terminal member that has a tapering section. The conductive ball is disposed to be movable in the chamber space and is convertible between a conducting state, in which the conductive ball is located at the tapering sections so that the inner terminal members are conductively connected to each other, and a non-conducting state, in which the conductive ball is separated from the tapering sections so that the inner terminal members are prevented from being conductively connected.
