1. A light source configured to be electrically connected to an alternating current power source and to be controlled using wirelessly communicated control signals generated by a remote control device, the light source comprising:

  • a wireless communication circuit that is configured to receive the control signals;

    an integrated lighting load;

    a base that is configured to electrically connect the light source to the power source;

    a housing that includes an end portion that is spaced from the base, and an intermediate portion that extends between the end portion and the base;

    a load control circuit that is configured to, in accordance with the control signals received by the wireless communication circuit, control an amount of power delivered to the lighting load to adjust an intensity of the lighting load between a high-end intensity and a low-end intensity; and

    an actuator that is manually operable at the end portion of the housing when the light source is installed in a fixture, wherein manual operation of the actuator causes the light source to create an association between the light source and the remote control device, such that the light source may be controlled by the remote control device,wherein the lighting load is located inside the housing such that a light emitting portion of the lighting load is enclosed by the intermediate portion and the end portion, andwherein the housing is configured to shine light that is emitted by the lighting load through the end portion of the housing.
