  • Publication number: 20220400544
    Abstract: A lighting system having a main direct current (DC) voltage source and controllable lighting fixtures that each have a DC-DC current source. Each lighting fixture includes a DC voltage to current converter and an LED light source, and the DC voltage to current converter outputs a constant current from the DC voltage provided by a AC-to-DC converter. The output current of the DC voltage to current converter is independent of the total number of lighting fixtures in the lighting system and is controlled by injecting control commands to the DC voltage provided to DC-DC current source, wherein the AC power provided to the AC-to-DC converter is turned on and off to turn on and off the lights provided by the lighting fixtures of the lighting system and dimming and/or other lighting controls by injecting control commands into the DC voltage provided to the DC-DC current source.
