Abstract: A system and method for the commissioning of a lighting system is disclosed. The lighting system includes a plurality of lighting devices and a plurality of locators. Each lighting device includes a light emitting element and a wireless tag. After the lighting system is installed, each lighting device transmits one or more packets that contain a constant tone extension (CTE). This CTE allows the locators to determine the angle of arrival of the incoming packet. By combining the angles of arrival from several locators, it is possible to ascertain the physical location of the lighting device that transmitted the CTE. In this way, the physical location of each lighting device can be correlated to its network address.

Abstract: A data interface with overvoltage protection circuitry includes a bus interface and power rectification stage configured to provide supply and return voltages for the data interface and overvoltage protection circuitry, a first power level overvoltage protection circuit, a second power level overvoltage protection circuit, a DALI endpoint power output port, a power supply for a DALI endpoint device drawing current from the power output port, a receiver configured to receive signals on the DALI bus, and, a transmitter configured to send signals on the DALI bus.

Abstract: A lighting system according to various embodiments includes a lighting array having a plurality of luminaires and a plurality of sensors. The lighting system also includes a controller configured to operate in at least one from the group including (i) pre commissioning mode and (ii) a commissioning mode. The pre-commissioning mode matches one of the luminaires with a corresponding one of the sensors to create luminaire-sensor pairs and the commissioning mode determines a location of each of the luminaire-sensor pairs.
