Abstract
A lighting system includes a master lighting fixture and at least one slave lighting fixture. Each lighting fixture includes a base, a light source, and a controller. The master lighting fixture includes a master controller contained within its base and a set of buttons to control the operation of all of the lighting fixtures. The master controller wirelessly transmits a control signal to the slave lighting fixtures depending on depression of the buttons by a user in order to be able to individually control all of the lighting fixtures in the system by utilizing buttons on the master lighting fixture. The fixtures may be disposed anywhere within a room or other location, and, without the need for additional wiring, operation of one device allows for the control of all of the devices within the system. Each lighting fixture may be in the form of a standard table lamp, floor lamp or other form of lighting fixture.
