Abstract:
A distributed lighting control system that minimizes or eliminates standby power usage in a low voltage lighting system where a digital power module is adapted to receive at least one control signal and to transmits an output control signal on one or more output ports to control various fixture control modules each having associated LED light fixtures, the digital power module functioning to shut off the transmission of electrical power to the fixture control modules to prevent standby power usage by the fixture control modules.

Claim (Index 1):
A lighting control system comprising:\n a digital power module (DPM) including:\n a control module; \n a power supply; \n a power output connected to the power supply; \n at least one control input operable to receive an input control signal; and \n a digital interface; \n a fixture control module (FCM) connected to the digital interface and the power output of the DPM, and the FCM having an associated LED light fixture connected thereto; the DPM being adapted to transmit a digital control signal to the FCM through the digital interface for controlling the FCM and the LED light fixture, where the digital control signal is based on the input control signal; the DPM being adapted to transmit power to the FCM through the power output; the DPM having an active power mode wherein the DPM transmits power via the power output and the DPM transmits the digital control signal via the digital interface; the DPM having an idle power mode wherein the DPM does not transmit power via the power output, and wherein the DPM is operable to monitor that at least one control input; the control module setting the DPM in the active power mode when the digital control signal is configured to cause the FCM to turn the associated LED light fixture on; and the control module setting the DPM in the idle power mode when the digital control signal is configured to cause the FCM to turn the associated LED light fixture off.
