APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATING INFORMATION AND POWER VIA PHASE-CUT AC WAVEFORMS
Apparatus and methods for controlling correlated color temperature (CCT) and lighting intensity in lighting fixtures are described. The CCT and intensity may be controlled independently over conventional AC wiring using a conventional dimmer. A lighting controller that resembles a conventional dimmer and that can be installed in place of a dimmer may be used instead of a conventional dimmer to access more control functionalities, still using conventional AC wiring. Wireless communication with the lighting fixture and/or lighting controller are possible.
