Abstract

A detachable touch-control lamp switch, comprising an outer shell, a touch-control metal panel covered over the outer shell, a control circuit board fastened inside the outer shell to receive touch-control signal from the touch-control metal panel, and a socket fastened in the outer shell with the plug holes thereof exposed to the outside for connecting any of a variety of ornamental lamps through an appliance plug. Touching of the hand on the touch-control metal panel causes the control circuit board to send a signal to the connected ornamental lamp through the socket and the plug, so as to drive the connected ornamental lamp to turn on/off or to change the intensity of the light that the connected ornamental lamp produces.
