Abstract

A system and method for a solid state lighting network using a power system architecture, having application in a designated area to achieve energy saving control and intelligent management requirements. The present invention primarily enables implementing single or integral control of each LED light emitting device installed within a local area via a control device. The entire system is constructed using existing alternating current power lines, and the control method uses the existing power lines as channels for conveying electronic signals, and implements conversion of control signals. Moreover, alternating current carrier waves are used to complete transmission of the electronic signals, thereby achieving effective control of each LED light emitting device within a local area.
