REMOTELY CONTROLLABLE TRACK LIGHTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A track lighting system, comprising:
- a track adapted to be mounted to a support structure;
a plurality of lamps supported by the track, each of the lamps supported on a different location of the track;
a wireless remote having a plurality of buttons and adapted to wirelessly transmit a control signal in accordance with depression of the buttons by a user of the wireless remote; and
a controller coupled to the track and adapted to receive the control signal wirelessly transmitted by the wireless remote and to selectively establish each of the lamps supported by the track to a respective intensity level in accordance with the received control signal.

Abstract
A remotely controllable track lighting system includes a track mountable to a support structure, such as a wall or ceiling, with lamps that are supported on the track that are individually controlled by a wireless remote. Each lamp on the track may be set to respectively different intensity levels (e.g., high, mid, low, off) or the user can uniformly control the lamps to be set to the same intensity level. Advantageously, all of the lamps may be set, upon initially turning on the lamps or at another time as desired, to their respective previously set intensity levels. The track system may also be powered via a wall switch where initially turning on the lamps via the wall switch advantageously causes all of the lamps to return to their respective previously set intensity levels or the user can move the wall switch off then on within a short period of time (e.g., 3 seconds) to cause all of the lamps to be set high. Other features and variations also are provided.
