Abstract
A system and method for activating one or more lights or other devices using one or more activation devices including electronic circuitry. The electronic circuitry of the activation devices includes an activation sensor, based on which the lights or other devices are activated. Activation sensors include motion, sound or light sensors. With transmitters the activation devices can activate remote lights or other devices including receivers. Activation devices can be coupled with or apart form the lights or other devices.
