Publication number: 20230243491Abstract: An automated dimming load controller automatically measures the relationship between the current draw and the dimmer setting for each light or group of lights connected to the load controller. Once measured, the relationship between the current draw and the dimmer setting can be used to enable the dimmer controller to adjust the lights between their minimum and maximum effective illumination. This automatic setting of the dimmer controller may be performed regularly to accommodate changes in performance or replacement of any of the connected lights, drivers or ballasts.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Applicant: The Watt Stopper, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan P. Cartrette, Peter J. Horton
