Abstract
A microprocessor based controller for electric liturgical lights similar to an array of votive candles including controllable duration of "burn" as well as selective actuation by the user in a variety of modes. The duration of burn for all lights is controlled by a singular timer which is located within the stand supporting the array. Data indicative of the operational state of a light array may also be transferred to a remote light array for continuation of operation at the remote site.
