Abstract
A lighting system includes circuitry to provide wireless LED driver or fluorescent ballast control without requiring changes to existing wiring setups. A power stage includes a power converter coupled across a first set of power terminals. The first power terminals are coupled to a second set of terminals via the wiring. A load stage is coupled to the second power terminals, wherein power provided across the first set of terminals is received by the load stage and deliverable to lighting devices. The load stage further includes a dimming control signal receiver coupled across the second set of power terminals and configured to receive an encoded dimming control signal. The encoded signal is transmitted across the wiring setup, wherein the power stage further includes a dimming control signal decoder coupled across the first set of power terminals and effective to deliver a decoded dimming control signal to the controller.
