Remote control track light fixture

A method for positioning a lighting device of a light-track module to illuminate an illumination target comprising:

• positioning the lighting device in a first orientation;
• emitting light from the lighting device;
• measuring, using one or more optical sensors, a first backscatter illumination intensity that is dispersed from the illumination target;
• positioning the lighting device in a second orientation, wherein said second orientation is different from said first orientation;
• measuring, using said one or more optical sensors, a second backscatter illumination intensity;
• and
• comparing said first backscatter illumination intensity and said second backscatter illumination intensity.

A handheld control unit comprising:

• a memory;
• a controller electrically coupled to said memory and configured to receive and store information, wherein said stored information includes track head position settings relating to a position of a target object;
• and
• a transmitter, electrically coupled to said controller and wherein said transmitter is configured to transmit at least a portion of the information to a track head control unit.

A method of controlling a light fixture at a lighting control unit, the method comprising:

• receiving a control signal from a remote control device;
• responsively activating the light control unit to control a lighting device;
• subsequent to said activating, transmitting a locator signal to a locator on a target object;
• receiving a response signal from said target object in response to said transmitting;
• based upon said response signal, adjusting one or more axis motors to aim said lighting device and illuminate said target object.

A track head unit that is configured to be coupled to a track, the track head unit comprising:

• a lighting device;
• a first sensor configured to receive transmissions from a portable remote control device;
• a second sensor configured to receive transmissions associated with a target object;
• one or more electric motors, wherein said one or more electric motors are mechanically coupled to said lighting device and are configured to position said lighting device along a first direction and a second direction;
• a controller coupled to said lighting device, said first sensor, said second sensor, and said one or more electric motors, wherein said controller is configured to receive a control signal from said portable remote control device via said first sensor, responsively transmit a locator signal to a locator that is disposed at a target object, receive a response signal via said second sensor from said target object in response to said transmission, and based upon said response signal, actuate said one or more electric motors to aim said lighting device at said target object.
