Abstract:
1. A lighting control system comprising: a plurality of light controllers, each light controller containing a microprocessor-based intelligence such that the plurality of light controllers form a distributed architecture, the microprocessor-based intelligence being operative to store, calculate, and execute complex lighting scenarios, wherein each light controller is configured with a lighting control script and the microprocessor-based intelligence executes the lighting control script during operation, whereby the lighting control script directs the control of the lighting, wherein the lighting control script is sufficiently detailed and the light controller is sufficiently intelligent so as to allow the light controller to control lighting without the necessity of having a present external control architecture wherein each light controller includes a power-fail safe real time clock (RTC) device for allowing resynchronization of the plurality of light controllers to an existing scenario execution.
