Claim:
A wall box lighting control comprising a wall box having a generally planar face plate and a generally planar bezel protruding through an opening in said face plate; said wall box containing a pair of cooperating air-gap contacts interiorly thereof and an elongated air gap switch operator mechanically cooperable with said pair of contacts and movable between a first and second position to cause the opening and closing respectively of said pair of contacts; one end portion of said elongated air gap switch operator being disposed adjacent and parallel to an edge portion of said bezel and being movable from a flush position with said bezel when said air gap contacts are closed to a position above the plane of said bezel when said air gap contacts are open; an outer bottom edge portion of said air gap switch operator which is spaced away from said edge portion of said bezel containing a finger nail receiving notch for easy operation of said air gap switch operator to open said air gap contacts; an electronic on/off circuitry, and a planar on/off operator disposed in said bezel and coupled to said electronic on/off circuitry, said on/off operator including a beveled edge providing a gap between a top edge of said one end portion of said air gap switch operator and said beveled edge, said gap being hidden by a shadow effect but providing access to said top edge of said one end of said air gap switch operator whereby said air gap switch operator may be manually operated by accessing said top edge of said one end as well as said finger nail receiving notch.
