CONTROLLABLE LIGHT SOURCE

摘要

A controllable light source is provided that includes a load control circuit and an integrated lighting load. The controllable light source is configured to receive wirelessly communicated commands transmitted by a remote control device associated with the controllable light source, such as a rotary remote control device. The controllable light source may include an actuator for associating the controllable light source with the remote control device, such that the load control circuit is operable to adjust the intensity of the lighting load in response to wireless signals received from the remote control device. The controllable light source may support the actuator such that the actuator may be actuated when the controllable light source is installed in a fixture.

1. A light source that is configured to be electrically connected to a power source and controlled via wireless control signals, the light source comprising:
a base configured to electrically connect the light source to the power source; a housing that includes a translucent end portion and is spaced from the base, and that includes an intermediate portion that extends between the end portion and the base; a lighting load that is located inside the housing, the lighting load configured to shine light through the end portion of the housing; an actuator that is manually operable at the end portion of the housing when the light source is installed in a fixture; a wireless communication circuit that is configured to receive wireless control signals; a load control circuit that is configured to control an amount of power delivered to the lighting load to adjust an intensity of the lighting load between a high-end intensity and a low-end intensity; and a processor that is configured to:
responsive to manual operation of the actuator, associate the light source with an external control device by causing an identifier of the external control device to be stored; andbased on an association of the light source with the external control device, be responsive to wireless control signals having the identifier that are received via the wireless communication circuit.
