Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for remotely dimming lights are disclosed. In one embodiment, a light-dimming apparatus for placement within a lighting enclosure of a lighting fixture is disclosed. The light-dimming apparatus can comprise a plurality of input and output terminals, a dimmer module, one or more motion sensing modules, a fail-safe module, and a microcontroller unit comprising a plurality of wireless communication modules, and one or more processor cores. The one or more processor cores can be programmed to execute instructions to receive a dimming command from another device via at least one of the plurality of wireless communication modules, receive zero-crossing signals from the dimmer module, and transmit switching signals to the dimmer module to modulate the power supplied to the lighting load to dim the brightness of the lighting load.

The light-dimming apparatus can comprise an AC live input terminal, an AC neutral input terminal, an AC live output terminal, an AC neutral output terminal, a dimmer module, and a microcontroller unit comprising a plurality of wireless communication modules, a first processor core, and a second processor core. The first processor core can be programmed to execute instructions to receive a dimming command from another device via at least one of the plurality of wireless communication modules and the second processor core can be programmed to execute further instructions to receive zero-crossing signals from the dimmer module and transmit switching signals to the dimmer module to modulate the power supplied to the lighting load to dim the brightness of the lighting load.
