A system for remote control of electrical lights over a radio pager system is disclosed. A radio pager receiver (103) is located within or nearby an electrical light fixture (102). The radio pager receiver (103) is connected to a computer processor (112) and electronic circuitry (107, 109, 111). Operations include turning a light or group of lights on or off, dimming the light, or reprogramming the light. There are protection mechanisms, such that, if the decoding of commands indicates that a large block of devices (102) are to be turned on at the same time, the operation will be staggered to prevent a huge current overload. One preferred embodiment is for an exterior roadway light fixture. |
