Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesH05B 037/02H05B 039/04 AbstractA light control system for selectively controlling the light intensity levels of a plurality of light groups, each group including one or more lights, is disclosed. The system comprises a control for generating a parallel binary-coded signal representative of a predetermined current level to be applied to a particular light group; a signal generator for providing (1) a unique and predetermined serially-coded address signal corresponding to the particular light group and, (2) a serially-coded data signal representative of the current level in response to the parallel binary-coded signal, and; a plurality of receivers, at least one for each light group for applying the current level to the particular light group only in response to the address signal and data signal. A common wire bus for transmitting the address and data signals from the signal generator to each of the receivers is utilized to substantially reduce the wiring required.Field of SearchSelective electric switch controlled by the radiant energy responsive deviceSelective energization of the load devices Radiant energy controlled regulation of the current supply for the load device Electric switch controlled by the radiant energy responsive device CURRENT AND/OR VOLTAGE REGULATION Pre-selectable regulator systems Plural load device regulation Pre-selectable switching systems Electrically controlled load device switch Keyboard or pattern controlled switch | |
