Patent ID: 7908037

Claim:
A pre-programmed energy saving lighting system, comprising: a power circuit operative to control provision of electrical power from an input power source to a light source; an energy profile control component pre-programmed to signal the power circuit to control the provision of electrical power from the input power source to the light source according to a pre-programmed energy profile as a function of a current time value, the pre-programmed energy profile being a fixed energy profile; and a bypass component operatively coupled with the input power source to sense input power conditions and operatively coupled to the profile control component to provide a signal or message to the profile control component which affects profile control, the signal or message prompting the profile control component to modify the fixed energy profile based at least partially on a predefined sequence of power conditions, and where the power circuit, the profile control component, and the bypass component are located in one housing and are operable without external devices or controllers.
