Making a Light that Stays on Only as Long as a Sensor is Being Touched

This FrightProps tutorial walks through a specific interactive scenario: keeping a light illuminated only while a visitor physically touches a designated prop or surface.

It doubles as a practical primer on controlling mains-voltage AC devices through a solid-state output from a low-voltage controller.
