    Abstract: A low-profile modular lighting device with flexible installation mounting options includes a lower housing, a circuit board supported by the lower housing and having electronic devices mounted thereto, and a plurality of upper housings each configured to releasably couple to the lower housing. The electronic devices of the circuit board extend within the space defined by an interior surface and upper edge of the lower housing and within the space defined by an interior surface and lower edge of each of the plurality of upper housings when coupled to the lower housing. Each of the plurality of upper housings provide a different mounting configuration for the modular lighting device. The modular lighting device may include one or more of a motion sensor, a light sensor, and a wireless transceiver for communication with a wireless lighting system.

    Abstract: An illustrative wireless controller for a lighting fixture includes an actuator module, a control module, and optionally a sensor module. The control module includes a radio, an antenna, a user interface, and a controller. A control housing defines an enclosure for the control module and defines a male fitting for mounting the control housing to an opening defined through the light fixture housing. The actuator module includes an AC-to-DC converter, a power monitoring circuit, a load switching circuit, and a dimming control circuit. An actuator housing defines an enclosure for the actuator module and for mounting the actuator housing inside the fixture housing. The control module receives wireless lighting control signals, decodes the wireless lighting control signals, and controls the actuator module based on at least the decoded wireless lighting control signals, to control the electrical power supplied by a power converter to a lighting fixture lamp.
