Abstract: The present invention provides a system for monitoring and controlling high intensity discharge (HID) lamps. The system includes a digital electronic ballast integrated with PLCC modem and PLCC concentrator. The digital electronic ballast is capable of monitoring and controlling operation of each of the HID lamp in the system. The PLCC concentrator is located in AC power line network and connected to each of the digital electronic ballast connected to the respective HID lamps in AC power line network. Further, the PLCC concentrator sends the command signals such as lamp ON/OFF, lamp dimming, lamp scheduling rules to the digital electronic ballast. The PLCC concentrator also receives lamp status, real time electric parameters, failure information, end of lamp life (EOLL) or lamp burning hours, temperature conditions and warning from the digital electronic ballast thereby the PLCC concentrator provide reports to server to enable remote monitoring of the network.
