Touch lamps work by sensing changes in capacitance when a person touches the lamp's metal base or any metal surface on the lamp. This change in capacitance triggers the lamp to turn on or off. The lamp is designed to detect the small electrical charge that flows through our body when we touch it.

Dimming ballasts typically work by controlling the amount of current going through the fluorescent lamps. They adjust the voltage supplied to the lamps, which in turn regulates the light output. This allows for the dimming functionality in fluorescent lighting systems.
Adjustable height lamps typically have a mechanism in the base or stand of the lamp that allows the user to manually change the height by adjusting the position of the lamp pole. This can involve telescoping poles, sliding mechanisms, or removable sections that can be adjusted to customize the height of the lamp to the user's preference.
"Lamps" is a countable noun because you can easily quantify and count the number of individual lamps.
The radio antenna may only work when you touch it because your body is acting as a conductor, improving the antenna's reception by grounding it and reducing interference.
Incandescent lamps have continuous emissions of light because they work by heating a filament wire until it glows and produces light. This continuous emission of light comes from the constant heating of the filament by an electric current passing through it.
