Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021067329A1] Intelligent lighting control systems include a dimming light control component that is configured to support multiple independent dimmable lighting loads within a single unit to be installed within one wall box. The lighting control systems efficiently utilize hardware to reduce redundant components. The systems use a single power source (e.g., branch circuit) and decouple outputs so that the on/off/dim state of one load does not affect any of the other multiple loads included in the unit. Certain embodiments provide 1 gang architecture while other embodiments may use other gang architectures such as 2 gang, 3 gang or more. The embodiments efficiently manage multiple loads with a single line/branch circuit input using one transformer constructed with multiple windings to isolate control of dimming loads in a light module from control of the other loads.
