POWER CONSERVATION TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE LIGHTING SYSTEMS
An illumination control system is configured for operative association with a vehicle lighting system of an emergency vehicle, such as a fire truck or other first responder type of vehicle. The illumination control system includes a video analysis module configured for receiving data from one or more cameras positioned on an exterior of the vehicle, and each camera has an associated region of interest (ROI) defined for a field-of-view for the camera. An artificial intelligence (AI) module is provided to detect whether a person or object of interest has entered the ROI of the camera. The control system includes an algorithm processing module programmed for executing logic associated with one or more decision-making tasks in association with the operation of the AI module. Also, a light control module can be provided for communicating instructions for activating or deactivating various scene lights of the vehicle lighting system.

Light device and a lighting system
A lighting device comprising a controller arranged to convey a cryptographic message to a load indicative of an instruction for said load to consume an amount of power during a selected time-interval; determine the power consumed during said selected time-interval and determine a condition indicative of an unauthorized load when said determined power is different from one which is expected.

Method of identifying a lighting fixture
Control-source devices may be associated with control-target devices of a load control system during a configuration procedure, such that the control-target devices are responsive to the associated control-source devices during normal operation. The configuration procedure may be executed using a network device having a visual display for associating the control-source devices and control-target devices. The control-source devices may be associated with the control-target devices on an area-by-area basis using an area configuration procedure. The control-target devices may be configured to flash a controlled lighting load according to a flashing profile during the configuration procedure. The flashing profile may be characterized by at least one abrupt transition between off and on, and at least one gradual transition between off and on, where the abrupt and gradual transitions are repeated on a periodic basis.

System for controlling load control parameters over fade times
A load controller in a load control system may communicate messages with load control devices for controlling electrical loads. The load controller may receive messages that comprise values for controlling different load control parameters over different overlapping fade times. The load controller may identify a shorter remaining fade time for controlling one of the load control parameters and may determine an updated target value for controlling another load control parameter over the shorter remaining fade time. The load controller may transmit a series of messages within a limited fade time using an updated target value for each message to control an electrical load at a fade rate that during a fade time that is longer than the limited fade time.
