History Of The Touch Lamp

Posted on April 17th, 2010 by admin in SCIENCE | No Comments »

The TOUCH LAMP was invented by someone from Freeport, New York named Scott Kunen. He first applied for the patent in 1984 and later got another patent in 1987 as a continuation and upgrade of the first patent. The upgrade involved having the control device being able to be plugged directly onto the wall so that it won’t require any additional wiring anymore. Today, there are many models of touch lamps ranging from table lamps, wall sconce, and floor lamps. It is usually the metal part of the lamp that has to be touched for it to light up. Some can be tapped one to three times to choose the level of brightness.
