LIGHTING CONTROL DEVICE HAVING IMPROVED LONG FADE OFF

摘要

There is provided a lighting control device for controlling a light intensity level of at least one lamp, the at least one lamp having an initial light intensity level, the lighting control device comprising: a microcontroller; and a user-actuatable switch controller operatively coupled to the microcontroller, wherein, upon a determination that the switch controller has been actuated, the microcontroller causes the light intensity level of the at least one lamp to fade at a first fade rate that is based on the initial intensity level of the at least one lamp. There is a further provided a method for controlling a light intensity level of at least one lamp, the at least one lamp having an initial light intensity level, the method comprising: determining that a switch actuator has been actuated; and causing the light intensity level of the at least one lamp to fade at a first fade rate that is based on the initial intensity level of the at least one lamp.
