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 18):
The control device of  claim 17 , wherein the opening in the faceplate comprises a beveled edge extending from an outer periphery at a front surface of the faceplate to an inner periphery that is characterized by a smaller diameter than the outer periphery, the rear surface of the cap portion positioned to the front of a plane of the inner periphery when the button is received in the opening of the faceplate, wherein the gap is formed between the button and the inner periphery of the opening.
