A user interface for a lighting control, the user interface comprising: a touch sensitive front surface having a longitudinal axis; a touch sensitive device configured to be responsive to a point actuation designated by a force and a position along the longitudinal axis on the touch sensitive front surface, the touch sensitive device comprising a conductive element and a DC voltage biased resistive element, said conductive element adapted to contact said DC voltage biased resistive element to form a resistive divider during said point activation for dividing the DC bias voltage, and an output connected to said resistive divider configured to provide a control signal corresponding to the divided DC bias voltage; a capacitor coupled to the output of the touch sensitive device configured to provide a stabilized control signal to a controller; the capacitor being coupled and configured to charge and discharge through the resistive divider of the touch sensitive device, whereby the resistive divider of the touch sensitive device and the capacitor form an RC circuit with a time constant dependent on a capacitance of the capacitor, a resistance of the DC voltage biased resistive element and a contact resistance between the conductive element and the DC voltage biased resistive element, configured by allowing to force a steady state voltage on the capacitor in response to the point actuation on the touch sensitive front surface when a duration of the point actuation exceeds the time constant, such that the stabilized control signal is representative of only the position of the point actuation; and a parallel combination of a second capacitor and a resistor coupled between the output of the touch sensitive device and a circuit common ground; wherein the resistor is coupled to allow the second capacitor to discharge such that the second capacitor and the resistor are configured to provide an output to the controller representative of whether the point actuation is presently occurring, and said user interface comprising a first switch coupled between the touch sensitive device and the capacitor, and a second switch coupled between the touch sensitive device and the parallel combination of the second capacitor and the resistor, wherein the controller is adapted to control the first and second switch (232, 238) in a complementary manner such that when the first switch is conductive, the second switch is non-conductive, and vice versa. a touch sensitive front surface having a longitudinal axis; a touch sensitive device configured to be responsive to a point actuation designated by a force and a position along the longitudinal axis on the touch sensitive front surface, the touch sensitive device comprising a conductive element and a DC voltage biased resistive element, said conductive element adapted to contact said DC voltage biased resistive element to form a resistive divider during said point activation for dividing the DC bias voltage, and an output connected to said resistive divider configured to provide a control signal corresponding to the divided DC bias voltage; a capacitor coupled to the output of the touch sensitive device configured to provide a stabilized control signal to a controller; the capacitor being coupled and configured to charge and discharge through the resistive divider of the touch sensitive device, whereby the resistive divider of the touch sensitive device and the capacitor form an RC circuit with a time constant dependent on a capacitance of the capacitor, a resistance of the DC voltage biased resistive element and a contact resistance between the conductive element and the DC voltage biased resistive element, configured by allowing to force a steady state voltage on the capacitor in response to the point actuation on the touch sensitive front surface when a duration of the point actuation exceeds the time constant, such that the stabilized control signal is representative of only the position of the point actuation; and a parallel combination of a second capacitor and a resistor coupled between the output of the touch sensitive device and a circuit common ground; wherein the resistor is coupled to allow the second capacitor to discharge such that the second capacitor and the resistor are configured to provide an output to the controller representative of whether the point actuation is presently occurring, and said user interface comprising a first switch coupled between the touch sensitive device and the capacitor, and a second switch coupled between the touch sensitive device and the parallel combination of the second capacitor and the resistor, wherein the controller is adapted to control the first and second switch (232, 238) in a complementary manner such that when the first switch is conductive, the second switch is non-conductive, and vice versa.
