<p>The present invention discloses a system for remotely controlling a light. In the preferred embodiment, a standard remote control is used to turn a light level to a performance setting. The system has means for receiving (62), learning (64), locking and unlocking (66) the learning mode as well as a means to control (68). Importantly the standard remote control is used to configure the system, locking the device in and out of a learning mode as well as to control. This makes it possible for the device to be out of reach of the user with no need for a manual user interface. The invention does not require isolation for configuring the system which reduces cost and complexity and has safety advantages in certain cases. In the locked mode the device becomes highly immune from corruption such as infrared `noise' and secure from being controlled inadvertently.</p> |
