Claim 7:
8. The electric load control method of claim 7, further comprising:
determining, by the electric load controller control circuitry, whether the luminous output of the one or more LEDs is at or above a first threshold luminous intensity; and
responsive to the determination that the luminous output of the one or more LEDs is at or above the first threshold luminous intensity:
receiving, by the electric load controller control circuitry, a second voltage sense output signal, the second voltage output signal indicative of a voltage across and a current through a primary winding of the transformer disposed in the load regulation circuitry;
determining, by the electric load controller control circuitry, an input power supplied to the transformer disposed in the load regulation circuitry;
retrieving, by the electric load controller control circuitry, data representative of an efficiency of the load regulation circuitry; and
determining, by the electric load controller control circuitry, a first average load current delivered to the one or more LEDs using the determined first load current, the retrieved efficiency of the load regulation circuitry, and the input power supplied to the primary coil of the transformer disposed in the load regulation circuitry.
