Lighting System to Facilitate Remote Modification of a Light Fixture Modifiable Operating Parameter
First Claim
1. A lighting system comprising:
- a light fixture comprising;
at least one electrically energizable light source;
at least one local condition sensor;
a receiver;
a memory;
a controller that is operably coupled to the at least one electrically energizable light source, the at least one local condition sensor, the memory, and the receiver and that is configured and arranged to;
automatically control energization of the at least one electrically energizable light source as a function of input from the at least one local condition sensor and at least one modifiable operating parameter as is stored in the memory;
automatically modify the at least one modifiable operating parameter in response to instructions that are received via the receiver.

Abstract
A lighting system comprises a light fixture (100) and a corresponding remote control transmitter (200). The light fixture can comprise at least one electrically energizable light source (102), at least one local condition sensor (103), a receiver (105), a memory (104), and a controller (101). The controller automatically controls energization of the light source as a function of input from the location condition sensor(s) and at least one stored modifiable operating parameter. The controller also automatically modifies the modifiable operating parameter(s) in response to instructions (106) as are received via the receiver. The wireless remote control transmitter (200) comprises a transmitter (202), an end user interface (203), and a controller (201). The controller processes inputs from an end user (as entered via the end user interface) regarding at least one of the aforementioned manipulable operating parameters and transmits this information to the aforementioned light fixture.

16. The lighting system of 15 wherein the temporal modifiable operating parameter comprises at least one of:
-
a duration of time to maintain the at least one electrically energizable light source in an energized state when causing the at least one electrically energizable light source to become automatically energized in response to detecting a particular level of ambient light; a duration of time to maintain the at least one electrically energizable light source in an energized state when causing the at least one electrically energizable light source to become automatically energized in response to detecting an animate object.
