Patent Number: 7221110 
Title: Lighting Control System and Method 
Abstract: A lighting control system includes a plurality of light controllers. Each light controller contains a microprocessor-based intelligence. The plurality of light controllers form a distributed architecture. The microprocessor-based intelligence is operative to store, calculate, and execute complex lighting scenarios. The microprocessor-based intelligence executes a lighting control script during operation. The lighting control script is sufficiently detailed and the light controller is sufficiently intelligent so as to allow the light controller to control lighting without the necessity of a having a present external control architecture.
