1. A wireless lighting control module comprising:
- a. a wireless receiver receiving an input wireless control signal;
b. an analog control output, wherein the analog control output conforms to a 0-10V format; and
c. a microcontroller, connected to the wireless receiver and receiving the input wireless control signal from the wireless receiver, wherein the microprocessor regulates the analog control output, wherein the analog control output has a predetermined cutoff level, wherein a lighting power output is controlled by the microcontroller and cut off by opening a relay when the analog control output is below the predetermined cutoff level.

Abstract
A Zigbee Lighting Control Module is described which can be connected to the input of an analog dimming LED driver so that a Zigbee controlled analog signal can be applied to the dimming input of the LED driver. Particular features of the module are the capability to apply a chosen nonlinear transform between the digital Zigbee input signal and the 0-10V analog output signal, and the use of a relay to cut off power to the driver being controlled when the analog output signal goes below a chosen level. The module can provide 100 mA output currents allowing large numbers of LED drivers to be controlled at once.
