Abstract
A lighting control system for multiple lighting loads includes a computer that displays a pictograph and a lighting control panel. The pictograph includes selectable representations of the lighting loads. A particular lighting load is controlled by selecting a lighting state such as "on" or "off" on the lighting control panel and selecting a representation of the particular lighting load on the pictograph.
