Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting a data packet to a lighting fixture network over a three-phase power system via manipulation of a single transformer coupled to the three-phase power system, comprising: identifying a lighting fixture data packet, said lighting fixture data packet based on data indicative of appropriate lighting fixture settings for one or more lighting fixtures of a lighting fixture network; switching a single transformer electrically coupled to a three-phase power system during a plurality of cycle periods, said three-phase power system including a first phase line, a second phase line, a third phase line, and a neutral line; and wherein switching said single transformer causes one of a voltage drop and a voltage rise measurable between each of: said first phase line and said neutral line, said second phase line and said neutral line, and said third phase line and said neutral line; wherein switching said single transformer is done in correspondence with said data packet such that said at least one of said voltage drop and said voltage rise correspond to said data packet.
