Abstract:
1. A load control device for control of the power delivered from an AC power source to an electrical load, the load control device comprising: a controllably conductive device adapted to be coupled between the AC power source and the electrical load for controlling the power delivered to the load; a microprocessor coupled to the controllably conductive device for controlling the controllably conductive device; at least one visual indicator controlled by the microprocessor to provide visual feedback; and a power supply adapted to draw current from the AC power source through the electrical load for generating a DC voltage across an energy storage capacitor for powering the microprocessor and the visual indicator; wherein the microprocessor is able to operate the load control device in a low-power mode during which the microprocessor illuminates the visual indicator when the load is on and turns the visual indicator off when the load is off.
