Claim:
1. A remote controller with touch switch and remote control button illumination control, the remote controller comprising: a. a front surface ( b. a back surface ( c. a first side ( d. a control board ( e. a battery compartment ( f. the battery ( g. the plurality of contact strips ( h. the light sensor ( i. the at least one lamp ( j. a first dial ( k. a second dial ( wherein the first and second switches ( 313 , 323 ) are electrically operated relay switches, wherein the relay switches are normally open, wherein the timer circuit comprises: a. a timer integrated circuit (IC) ( b. a potentiometer ( c. a first resistor ( d. a capacitor ( e. a second resistor ( f. a third resistor ( g. the transistor ( h. the diode ( wherein, when a user picks up the remote controller, the contact strips ( 220 ) detect the capacitance of the human body, whereupon a first signal is generated which activates the timer circuit ( 310 ), whereupon the timer circuit ( 310 ) outputs a second signal which closes the first switch ( 313 ), which supplies power to the light sensor circuit ( 320 ), whereupon if the light sensor ( 230 ) detects low ambient light conditions, the light sensor circuit ( 320 ) sends a third signal which closes the second switch ( 323 ), which supplies power to the at least one lamp ( 250 ), wherein, after a period of time, the timer circuit ( 310 ) stops sending the second signal, which opens the first switch ( 313 ) to the light sensor circuit ( 320 ), whereupon the light sensor circuit ( 320 ) is no longer powered, whereupon the second switch ( 323 ) to the at least one lamp ( 250 ) is opened, whereupon the at least one lamp ( 250 ) is powered off, wherein if ambient light levels rise above a predetermined level while the light sensor circuit ( 320 ) is active, the light sensor circuit ( 320 ) opens the second switch ( 323 ) to the at least one lamp ( 250 ), thus cutting off power, wherein the potentiometer ( 411 ) is controlled by the first dial ( 261 ), which adjusts a voltage at the threshold and discharge pins of the timer IC ( 410 ), which adjusts the length of time that the timer IC ( 410 ) outputs the second signal, wherein when the contact strips ( 220 ) are touched by a human, the change in capacitance causes a voltage change at the trigger pin of the timer IC ( 410 ), which causes the timer IC ( 410 ) to output the second signal on the output pin, whereupon current flows to the transistor base pin, whereupon the transistor ( 420 ) allows current to flow from the positive battery contact ( 301 ) through the first relay switch ( 313 ) to the negative battery contact ( 302 ), whereupon the first relay switch ( 313 ) moves to a closed position, whereupon the light sensor circuit ( 320 ) is powered.
