Wireless Solid State Lighting Controller
First Claim
1. A lighting controller comprising:
- power circuitry configured to relay power from the lighting controller to a solid state lighting fixture wired to the lighting controller;
transmitter circuitry configured to wirelessly exchange signals with the solid state lighting fixture;
a touch-sensitive panel configured to emit light and receive touch input from a user;
processing circuitry electrically coupled to the power circuitry, the transmitter circuitry, and the touch-sensitive panel, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to;
wirelessly control, via the transmitter circuitry, an attribute of light emitted by the solid state lighting fixture in accordance with the touch input received via the touch-sensitive panel; and
control the light emitted from the touch-sensitive panel to illuminate an area around the lighting controller and correspondingly indicate the attribute as the attribute is wirelessly controlled.

Abstract
A lighting controller comprises power circuitry, transmitter circuitry, a touch-sensitive panel, and processing circuitry. The power circuitry is configured to relay power from the lighting controller to a solid state lighting fixture wired to the lighting controller. The transmitter circuitry is configured to wirelessly exchange signals with the solid state lighting fixture. The touch-sensitive panel is configured to emit light and receive touch input from a user. The processing circuitry is electrically coupled to the power circuitry, the transmitter circuitry, and the touch-sensitive panel. The processing circuitry is configured to wirelessly control, via the transmitter circuitry, the attribute of light emitted by the solid state lighting fixture in accordance with the touch input received via the touch-sensitive panel and control the light emitted from the touch-sensitive panel to indicate the attribute as the attribute is wirelessly controlled.
