Abstract
An electronic 2-way communication module suitable (1, 2, 3) for 2-way communication with a luminaire (6) is disclosed. This is adapted to be installed in series into the power supply (7, 8) to the luminaire, and it has (i) a housing assembly; (ii) live and neutral power input terminals; (iii) live and neutral power output terminals; (iv) a power supply unit; (v) a dimmer unit controller; (vi) a wireless communication interface adapted to receive data/operating instructions and to relay data to a remote repository; and (vii) a wired connection between said electronic 2-way communication module and said luminaire adapted for the 2-way transmission of data between the module (1,2, 3) and the luminaire (6) and vice versa. This electronic 2-way communication module provides for the first time the ability not only to control a luminaire remotely but also to transmit data wirelessly from a luminaire to a remote repository, using a module that is simply wired in series with a cable supplying power to said luminaire.
