ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a power control unit and method of controlling power particularly for lighting loads such as incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps. The power control unit is located between the power source and the load, typically between a circuit breaker and the lamps in a single circuit.
The power control unit functions to reduce the voltage delivered to the load and thereby to reduce the power consumed by the load. Reductions in power up to 10% or more are possible without any significant loss in lighting usefulness. Savings of up to 40% or more are possible when significant reductions in lighting output are acceptable.
