Abstract
An apparatuses, methods, and systems of light emitting diode (LED) control are disclosed. One embodiment includes an LED control system that includes a sensor unit and a light emitting diode (LED) driver/controller unit. The sensor unit includes a sensor controller and a sensor, wherein the sensor is operative to generate a sensed signal based on at least one of sensed motion or light. The LED driver/controller unit includes an LED driver, and an LED controller. At least one of the sensor controller and the LED controller is operative to generate dimming control of an LED based on at least one of the sensed signal and communication from a network, and adjust a dimming of the LED based on the dimming control.
