Lighting control techniques and corresponding drivers and ballasts are disclosed. In some embodiments, the driver or ballast receives multiple dimming inputs and has multiple dimming interfaces that produce initial dimming signals or levels. The initial dimming signals are manipulated by a controller to produce a final output dimming signal or level that is based on the dimming signals received and dims the attached light sources accordingly. The manipulations performed by the controller may include various operations, such as comparisons and calculating the product of the initial dimming signals. In some embodiments, the techniques can be applied to light-emitting diode (LED) drivers or ballasts for fluorescent and other discharge light sources and can be used in smart grid and peak power shaping applications.
