Abstract
This invention generally relates to control of DC track lighting systems. The proposed solution implements a control system for a DC track lighting system based on the use of near-field RF technologies such as NFC. This solution is achieved by extending the limited range offered by near-field RF technologies by taking advantage of the unexpected behavior of a DC track while having thereon high frequency signals such as near-field RF signals. The proposed solution may require less tedious control of DC track lighting system since lamp holder(s) may be controlled based on a single 'touch' of near-field RF enable device.
