<p>The present subject matter is directed to a lighting control system and method. Motion or occupancy sensors are used to determine when a lighting fixture and/or a nearby lighting fixture should be activated. A controller associated with each lighting fixture switches its lighting fixture on and triggers a communications circuit to generate and send a signal to nearby lighting fixtures when a user is detected. Each lighting fixture also has a signal receiver to receive signals from any nearby lighting fixtures that are configured to communicate with it via a communication circuit. The present subject matter allows for a significant amount of energy to be saved as remote areas away from an occupied area do not have to be illuminated. Meanwhile, the user is still provided with a comfortable level of flighting in and near the occupied area.</p> |
