摘要： The present invention provides apparatus and methods for controlling the illumination throughout an area where even and constant lighting is not required. The invention includes one or more light sources, such as luminaires, the status of which is controlled by a controller responsive to a sensor for detecting a parameter of interest. Preferably the sensor detects motion of a subject moving through the area of controlled illumination. Each independent controller may receive and transmit signals indicative of the status of one or more nearby light source for determining and controlling the lighting status of the light source with which it is in controlling communication. The determining by the controller is preferably carried out by a programmed microprocessor. The communication between controllers may be wireless. The signals communicated among controllers may be hierarchical for determining whether a response is required and what the response might be.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供了在不需要均匀和恒定照明的区域中控制照明的装置和方法。 本发明包括一个或多个光源，例如灯具，其状态由响应于用于检测感兴趣的参数的传感器的控制器控制。 优选地，传感器检测被摄体移动通过受控照明区域的运动。 每个独立的控制器可以接收和发送指示一个或多个附近的光源的状态的信号，以确定和控制与其正在控制通信的光源的照明状态。 控制器的确定优选地由编程的微处理器执行。 控制器之间的通信可以是无线的。 在控制器之间传送的信号可以是分层的，用于确定是否需要响应以及响应可能是什么。
