Abstract
A luminaire controller includes a controller housing, a user interface panel, a power interface, a load interface, a power control module and an illumination control module. The user interface panel, power interface and load interface extend from the controller housing. The power interface and load interface are disposed within the controller housing, and are electrically coupled to the user interface panel. The power control module is configured to electrically connect the load interface to the power interface upon receipt of a connect signal from the user interface panel, and electrically isolate the load interface from the power interface upon receipt of a disconnect signal from the user interface panel. In accordance with a light characteristic signal that is received from the user interface panel, the illumination control module is configured to wirelessly control a characteristic of light emitted by a luminaire that is electrically coupled to the load interface.
