Patent Images
1. A programming module for use with a luminaire, the programming module comprising:
- a connector configured to provide an interface between the programming module and the luminaire via a photo-electric element (PE) socket of the luminaire;
a programmable device including a plurality of separate modules including a memory and configured to;
(i) interface with and be pre-programmed by an external communication network, and (ii) receive instructions from the external communication network;
a processor configured to interface with the programmable device that, when executing the instructions from the separate modules, included in the memory, is further configured to perform operations comprising;
measuring and monitoring input power to the luminaire; and
changing a driver current set point based on the monitored input power, wherein a driver current set point being the current level at which the light sources of the luminaire are biased before reprogramming.

Abstract
There are provided methods and devices for programming a luminaire. For example, there is provided a programming module for use with a luminaire. The programming module includes a connector configured to provide an interface between the programming module and the luminaire via a photo-electric element (PE) socket of the luminaire. The programming module further includes a memory and a processor. When executing instructions included in the memory, the processor is configured to perform operations that include measuring the input power to the luminaire and changing a driver current set point.
