Filed:

Oct 15, 2015

Appl. No.:

14/883786

Inventors:

- Conyers GA, US
Douglas Aldrich Stewart - Canton GA, US
Michael Jay Dorogi - Newark OH, US
Robert Burt - Columbus OH, US
Christopher Scott Shelton - Kennesaw GA, US

International Classification:

H05B 37/02

Abstract:

Lighting fixture control systems and method are described including a control station configured to communicate with a plurality of remotely located fixture control devices that are associated with lighting fixtures. Individual fixture control devices may be configured to perform automatic activation operations, that include the fixture control device determining one or more of an identifier of the node, a GPS coordinate of the node, an operating Voltage of the node, a lamp Wattage of the lighting device, a lamp type of the lighting fixture, and a dimming capability of the lighting fixture. The fixture control device may be configured to send results of the automatic activation operation to the control station. The control station may be configured to store a file associated with the node, including the received results of the automatic activation operation.

Abstract:

Lighting control devices, network systems, and methodologies, including methods for providing closed-loop dimming control of such systems, are described. In some examples, disclosed methods and device configurations may include an intelligent photo control configured to accept target dimmed fixture wattage value commands from a user, and provide closed-loop control at the fixture to achieve that target wattage via real-time adjustment of the 0-10V dimming control signal sent to the LED driver. As such, the need for trial-and-error adjustments of the 0-10V analog control voltage, or derivation of dim voltage to fixture wattage response curves in order to achieve a desired fixture wattage level, may be reduced or eliminated.
