1. An apparatus comprising:
- a housing having an outer wall with an aperture;
a lighting element;
a first PCB section contained in the housing and having circuitry configured to control the lighting element; and
a second PCB section having an antenna and circuitry configured to convert RF signals into control signal input to the first PCB section, the second PCB section being operatively interconnected with the first PCB section;
wherein the second PCB section is installed in an orientation projecting outward through the aperture in the outer wall of the housing, with the antenna located at least partially outside the outer wall of the housing.

Abstract
A light fixture may have a housing containing a lighting element and any number of PCBs. A first PCB section may have circuitry that controls the lighting element. A second PCB section may have an antenna and circuitry that converts RF signals into control signal input to the first PCB section. The second PCB section may be operatively interconnected with the first PCB section, and may be contained in the housing in an orientation projecting from the first PCB section.
