Shipboard Lighting System

The Conventional Lighting Integrated Circuit Management (CLICM) technology proposed will provide integrated circuit protection functions, switching functions, internal and external circuit monitoring functions, diming functions, communications, and remote control capability in a single retrofit-able module. Designed to be able to integrate with on-going developments in remote source lighting computer control and communications architectures, the technology will provide for greatly expanded control and monitoring of conventional lighting in shipboard environments. Designed to be modular and scalable, the technology when fully implemented will be installed in place of circuit breaker distribution panels, switches, and other add-on functional equipment. The technology specifically provides for remote computer control and monitoring, and will be configured for stand-alone installation into non-LAN backbone ships, or to be fully integrated into shipboard LAN architectures.
