Claim 0:
1. A control device comprising:
a controller to couple to a power supply line and a load line, the controller being operable to control a power output on the load line using a power supplied by the power supply line;
a safety disconnect mechanism provided with the controller, the safety disconnect mechanism comprising a longitudinal member body being manipulatable by a user to switch the safety disconnect mechanism between (i) an engaged state, in which the user pushes the longitudinal member body into the control device to electrically couple the power supply to the load line, and (ii) a disengaged state, in which the user pulls the longitudinal member body out of the control device to electrically decouple the power supply line from the load line so that no power output is provided on the load line, the safety disconnect mechanism having a member body formed in part of a translucent material; and
wherein the longitudinal member body includes a wedge that physically contacts and manipulates a switch member when the user pulls the longitudinal member body out of the control device to place the safety disconnect mechanism in the disengaged state; and
a lighting element provided with the safety disconnect mechanism and illuminating the translucent material, the lighting element being operable to have at least a first illumination state that is indicative of the safety disconnect mechanism being in the engaged state, a second illumination state that is indicative of the safety disconnect mechanism being in the disengaged state, and a third illumination state in which the lighting element illuminates in accordance with an attribute that reflects a malfunction affecting a power supply mains.
