Abstract
Approaches for controlling supply of power to a load in an environment based on ambient light sensing and dynamic thresholding include, based on an ambient light level in the environment decreasing to a turn-on threshold light level, controlling a switch of an electrical load controller to couple the supply of electrical power to the lighting load, sensing a current ambient light level in the environment after lapse of a predetermined amount of time subsequent to controlling the switch to couple the supply of electrical power to the lighting load, and adjusting a turn-off threshold light level using the current ambient light level.
