摘要：An electrical device is disclosed for use in a wall box having a series of buttonsthat can either be rocker buttons or push buttons. These buttons can be supported byspringboards formed integral with a support board. The springboards are for biasing the

series of buttons. Much of the device is housed within a housing formed at a first end by abody and a second end by a strap coupled to the housing. The strap extends beyond thebody, wherein this strap can be used to dissipate heat from the device. Inside of thehousing can be at least one circuit board which has switches, which can be used to receiveinstructions from a plurality of buttons. In one embodiment, a plurality of light pipes areadapted so that they are housed at least partially inside of these buttons. At least oneportion of the light pipe can be formed as a shaft and adapted to extend out from thishousing and down to a light emitter disposed on the circuit board. In at least oneembodiment, this light pipe can also include at least one actuator which is used tocontact an associated springboard when a button is acted on. This movement causes thespringboard to contact an actuator on a TAC switch which then results in an associatedset of instructions being sent to the circuit board.
