Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a modular lighting system that may include a driver module, an array of LEDs that are driven by the driver module, and a control module. The control module is configured to control the driver module, which in turn drives the LEDs of the array of LEDs in a desired fashion. The control module may communicate with one or more remote lighting control systems through wired or wireless communications and function to control the driver module accordingly. Notably, the driver module and the control module communicate with each other through a standard communication protocol, such that either of the driver module or the control module can be replaced without replacing the other of the driver module or control module. Further, power may be provided to the control module and the array of LEDs by the driver module via the standard communication interface or separate power interface.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 666,920, filed July 1, 2012, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This application is related to concurrently filed US Patent Application No. 13 / 589,899, entitled "MODULAR LIGHTING CONTROL," which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to lighting fixtures, and more particularly to modular lighting control systems. Background technique [0004] In recent years, the development of replacing incandescent light bulbs with lighting fixtures that use more efficient lighting technologies and relatively efficient fluorescent lighting fixtures with lighting technologies that produce more pleasant natural light has gained traction. One such technology that shows great promise uses light emitting diodes (LEDs). Compared to incandescent bulbs, LED-based ligh...
