Patent ID: 8203445

Claim:
A light comprising: a housing, the housing enclosing: at least one light emitting diode (LED) comprising a first illumination state and a second illumination state; an interface component configured to receive a remote control signal from a remote control and an environmental sensor signal from an environmental sensor while the at least one LED is in the first illumination state, wherein the environmental sensor signal is indicative of a detected proximity of an object, a detected sound, a detected motion, a detected gas, a detected temperature, or a detected chemical; a controller comprising a timing component and configured to: determine a setting for the timing component based on at least one of the first illumination state, the remote control signal, and the environmental sensor signal; determine the second illumination state of the at least one LED based on a combination of the first illumination state, the remote control signal, the environmental sensor signal, and the setting for the timing component; and change the illumination state of the at least one LED from the first illumination state to the second illumination state according to a timing protocol corresponding to the setting of the timing component, wherein: the timing protocol delays the illumination state change; the illumination state change further comprises conserving power consumed by the light from a local power source by reducing power supplied to the at least one LED; and the local power source configured to supply power to the interface component, the controller, the environmental sensor, and the at least one LED.
