eBay touch switch module
Added 2022-11-02 05:05:20 +0000 UTCIt's debatable whether buying a cheap module from eBay that works at 110-240V and has a bare wire that you actually touch is a good idea.
This one isn't too bad if you trust a non class Y capacitor between you and a bad time.
The circuitry is OK and has a degree of hackability for playing about with resistor values. There is no RF filtering on this potentially noisy phase angle control dimmer.

Its funny you mention how hams hate these things. When hams are transmitting Morris code the touch lights get triggered with every dot and dash. Sort of turns the lamp into a light show.
