Claim 6:
7. The control device of claim 2, wherein the control circuit is configured to:
control the amount of power delivered to the lighting load to turn the lighting load on to a preconfigured intensity level in response to detection of a non-contact actuation proximate to the front surface of the actuation member;
control the amount of power delivered to the lighting load to fade the intensity level of the lighting load from the preconfigured intensity level to a low-end intensity level or off over a fade interval in response to a continued detection of the non-contact actuation;
detect that the non-contact actuation has stopped; and
control the amount of power delivered to the lighting load to stop the fade and maintain the intensity level of the lighting load at the intensity level that the lighting load is controlled to when the non-actuation actuation stopped.
