Abstract:
A control device for controlling power delivered to an electrical load may illuminate an area around a button of the control device, such as a gap formed between the button and an opening of a faceplate of the control device. The control device may illuminate the gap to provide a nightlight feature, to provide feedback (e.g., a status of the electrical load), and/or to indicate a selected preset. The button may have a cap portion that may be actuated by a user and a diffuser portion that may contact a rear surface of the cap portion and may conduct light emitted by an internal light source to illuminate the gap around the button.

Claim (Index 1):
A control device for controlling power delivered to an electrical load, the control device comprising:\n a faceplate having at least one opening; at least one button received in the at least one opening of the faceplate, wherein a gap is formed between the at least one button and the at least one opening of the faceplate; at least one light source located inside of the control device and configured to illuminate the gap between the at least one button and the at least one opening of the faceplate; and a control circuit configured to cause the power delivered to the electrical load to be adjusted in response to an actuation of the at least one button.
