Title: Lighting control system
Inventor: PAUL MANS
IPC: H05B39/04
Filed: 2015-12-08
Abstract: There is provided a lighting controller for a luminaire 70-75 in a room 50. The lighting controller comprises at least one switch adjustable to configure the lighting controller to operate in one of a first mode and a second mode. The lighting controller further comprises a receiver configured to receive a light level measurement for the room 10; a processor, and a memory comprising instructions.
