Abstract

See full text

A system for controlling a headlamp includes a computing device and a capacitance sensor. A method for operating the headlamp includes detecting a first change at a first sensor on the headlamp and determining if the first change is a first swipe. The method further includes activating a first light of the headlamp in response to the first swipe and detecting a second change at the first sensor on the headlamp. The method further includes determining the second change is a hold and cycling the intensity of the first light of the headlamp in response to the second change.
