ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises, in one embodiment, a load control apparatus comprising a control unit for controlling the supply of power to a load. The control unit has a first state and a second state. When the load control apparatus is disposed in the first state, the control unit enables power to be supplied to the load. When the load control apparatus is disposed in the second state, the control unit prevents power from being supplied to the load. The load control apparatus further comprises a switch for causing the control unit to switch from one state to another. The switch is actuatable external from the control unit.
