Abstract:
A sensor, such as a motion sensor and/or an occupancy sensor, a soft switch relay controller, or a power pack can significantly reduce the in-rush current and thereby extend the life of relays and other electrical components susceptible to damage caused by in-rush current or voltage surges. The sensor, soft switch relay controller, and/or power pack can reduce the in-rush current when enabling or disabling a light source.

Claim (Index 3):
A lighting system comprising:\n a light source; a power source; a relay coupled between the power source and the light source, the relay configured to selectively power the light source; a soft switch relay controller configured to:\n send a dimming signal to cause a current draw of the light source to be reduced to a low power level; and \n switch the relay so as to power the light source while the current draw of the light source is at the low power level.
