Abstract

A control device (35) for controlling an electrical load (38) with power electronics (37) arranged in a line that supplies electrical current to the load (38) has a sensor unit (15) for detecting the movement of a user (5) with a plurality of transmitting diodes (17, 18) and a receiving diode (20). A processor unit (9) compares signal profiles from the transmitting diodes (17, 18) with stored signal profiles and determines the movement of the user (5) therefrom. The load (38) is controlled on the basis of the movement of the user (5).
