Title
Ottlite PL-0094 touch switch hack
Introduction
The [link|https://products.ottlite.com/p-463-dual-shade-led-floor-lamp-with-usb-charging-station.aspx|Ottlite PL-0094 Dual Shade LED Floor Lamp] uses a touch switch to turn the light on and off and set the dimming levels.[br]
The touch switch circuit appears to fail in a way that decreases the sensitivity such that the lamp can no longer be controlled.
[link|https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B01N0XI3LH/ref=acr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews#reviews-filter-bar|Amazon 1-star reviews of the product] suggest this is a common problem.[br]
And the touch circuit replacement board does not appear to be available for purchase.[br]
[br]
However, it turns out the touch sensor still works if one directly touches the contact for the touch sensor.[br]
[br]
Simple fix: add a metal washer, machine screw, and nut to the touch switch area.
