Abstract:
If there is an interruption of power to an electrical load while the electrical load is operating at low end, the electrical load may not turn back on when power is restored. This undesired operation may be avoided by detecting the application of power to the electrical load, and automatically increasing the magnitude of a control signal being applied to the electrical load by a sufficient amount for a short period of time after power has been applied. This way, the electrical load may be turned back on to low end, instead of erroneously operating in an electronic off condition.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of controlling an intensity of a lighting load, the method comprising:\n generating a control signal for controlling the intensity of the lighting load, the control signal being capable of causing the lighting load to be turned on when a magnitude of the control signal rises above a threshold; adjusting, after the lighting load has been turned on, the magnitude of the control signal so as to control the intensity of the lighting load between a low-end intensity and a high-end intensity, the magnitude of the control signal being equal to or less than the threshold when the intensity of the lighting load is being controlled to the low-end intensity; when power has been applied to the lighting load, temporarily setting the magnitude of the control signal to be greater than a desired magnitude of the control signal; and subsequently decreasing the magnitude of the control signal to the desired magnitude.
