Patent Number: 3706913 
Title: Plural Channel Light Dimming System 
Abstract: A remote controlled lighting system in which a foot switch assembly operates through a logic network to selectively energize intensity and delay controls in the form of resistance networks controlling the energization of a capacitor which with an output voltage from a ramp generator providing pulsed signals corresponding to an alternating current supply will control operation of a triac connecting the lights to the alternating current supply for proportionate periods of time in each alternating half cycle of the alternating current supply. The circuit includes provisions for delaying the changing in energization levels in a shift from one desired level to a level of energization through switching and further includes a master kill switch to de-energize all controls.
