Abstract:
1. A lighting control system, comprising: a lighting control circuit of a plurality of lighting control circuits operable to receive a control signal comprising a command to energize a light source and allow electrical energy to flow to the light source in response to the command; a panel controller communicably coupled to the plurality of lighting control circuits, wherein the panel controller is operable to transmit the control signal to the lighting control circuit; and a power metering circuit communicably coupled to the lighting control circuit and comprising: wherein the lighting control circuit is electrically coupled to the light source, wherein the lighting control circuit is operable to control the light source and the at least one other light source, wherein the first power usage and the second power usage are made available to a building management system, wherein the panel controller is operable to send a subsequent control signal comprising a subsequent command to the lighting control circuit based on the first power usage measured by the first meter and the second power usage measured by the second meter, and wherein the light source and the at least one other light source comprises at least two selected from a group consisting of fluorescent, incandescent, magnetic low voltage, electronic low voltage, light emitting diode (LED), high intensity discharge (HID), neon, and cold cathode light sources.
