Claim 7:
8. The control device of claim 7, wherein the control circuit is further configured to:
control the amount of power delivered to the lighting load to turn the lighting load on to the preconfigured intensity level in response to the detection of the non-contact actuation for a qualifying time period;
determine that the non-contact actuation persists for a fade time period after the lighting load is turned on; and
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 the low-end intensity level or off over the fade interval based on the persistence of the non-contact actuation for the fade time period after the lighting load is turned on.
