CONTROLLABLE LIGHT SOURCE
First Claim
1. A light source configured to be electrically connected to an alternating current power source and to be controlled using wirelessly communicated control signals generated by a remote control device, the light source comprising:
- a wireless communication circuit that is configured to receive the control signals;
a lighting load;
a load control circuit that is configured to control an amount of power delivered to the lighting load in accordance with the control signals received by the wireless communication circuit; and
an actuator that is exposed and operable when the light source is installed in a fixture, the actuator configured to cause the light source to associate with the remote control device.

Abstract
A controllable light source is provided that includes a load control circuit and an integrated lighting load. The controllable light source is configured to receive wirelessly communicated commands transmitted by a remote control device associated with the controllable light source, such as a rotary remote control device. The controllable light source may include an actuator for associating the controllable light source with the remote control device, such that the load control circuit is operable to adjust the intensity of the lighting load in response to wireless signals received from the remote control device. The controllable light source may support the actuator such that the actuator may be actuated when the controllable light source is installed in a fixture.
