|---|---|

| Bewerken | Edit |
| Prima, het apparaat is geüpdatet | That’s fine, the device has been updated |
| Sfeer bureau lamp | Ambient desk lamp |
| Schakelaar | Switch |
| Aan | On |
| Uitschakelen | Turn off |
| Zoeken | Search |
| Doe lampen uit | Turn lights off |
| Doe Gang uit | Turn off ‘Gang’ |
