Abstract
A sensor element for a luminaire local area (LLA) control system includes a receptacle connector, a lighting sensor connector, and an environmental sensor connector arranged in a connector stack coupled to each other and stacked on a light fixture. The receptacle connector includes power contacts for electrical connection with power wires for powering the light fixture. The lighting sensor connector is separate and discrete from the receptacle connector and includes a photocontrol component for sensing an ambient light exterior of the sensor element. The environmental sensor connector is separate and discrete from the lighting sensor connector and includes an environmental sensor component for sensing an environmental characteristic other than ambient light exterior of the sensor element for use by the LLA control system.
