    Abstract: A multiple location load control system may comprise a main load control device and an accessory load control device. The main load control device may control an amount of power delivered to an electrical load from an AC power source using a control circuit and a controllably conductive device. The accessory load control device may be coupled to the main load control device via an accessory terminal. The accessory load control device may detect a user input for changing a characteristic of the electrical load and may send a signal to the main load control device indicating the user input. The main load control device may detect a pattern of the signal based on a threshold and further determine the user input in response to the detected pattern. The main load control device may adjust the threshold based on line/load conditions of the multiple location load control system.

    Abstract: A lighting device with a light source powered by batteries connected in series utilizes a current-limited load switch which regulates current delivered to the light source from the batteries through use of a controller electrically coupled in series with a mechanical power switch so that when the mechanical power switch is opened, the controller is not powered by the batteries, the controller including an output for providing a control signal for controlling the opening and closing of the current-limited load switch, and current delivered to the light source by the current-limited load switch is set by a resistor connected to an ISET pin of the current-limited load switch.

    Abstract: A portable lighting device, such as a flashlight, with a mechanical power switch and multiple operating modes is provided. The mechanical power switch is disposed in series with the controller for the lighting device and acts as the user interface to the controller to change modes of operation. Because the mechanical power switch is in series with the controller, the portable lighting device does not consume battery power when the mechanical switch is open. A state machine coupled to the controller is polled by the controller each time it is powered up to determine the operational mode of the lighting device.

    Abstract: A system for supplying current to a load is disclosed. One embodiment provides a switching converter for providing a load current to the load. The switching regulator includes a switching circuit. A current control unit generates a modulated current control signal representing a desired load current. The switching circuit is driven dependent on the modulated current control signal. A logic circuit receives a pulse-width-modulated control signal representing a desired dimming ratio and is configured to generate a gate signal for driving the switching circuit dependent on the current control signal during a duty cycle of the pulse-width-modulated control signal. The logic circuit is configured to activate the switching converter, independent on the state of the current control signal, at the beginning of the duty cycle of the pulse-width-modulated control signal.

    Abstract: A movable and delay-extinction illuminating apparatus which can be arranged or hung in a desired position. The illuminating apparatus includes a housing defining a chamber and a transparent shade body disposed on one face of the housing. An illuminating device is received in the chamber. When the illuminating device is turned on, light beam is projected from the illuminating device through the shade body to illuminate the environment. The illuminating device includes an activating unit formed by a photosensitive unit or a switch unit, a time delay unit and a lighting unit. When the switch unit is switched on, the lighting unit is activated to continuously emit light for a certain period of time set by the time delay unit. Thereafter, the lighting unit is automatically gradually extinguished.
