Abstract
A smart lighting control system has a central control unit and at least one lighting module. The lighting module has its own controller, an ambient light sensor, a current sensor, and an emergency button and is connected to the central control unit and other modules via a serial port. Each lighting module can follow commands from the central control unit to display a specific lighting effect or adjust its brightness according to the ambient light automatically or to switch to another color or lighting effect to generate a warning signal.
