Adaptive light fixture with standby feature

An adaptive light fixture comprising:

• one or more illumination sources;
• a motion sensor and a light sensor;
• a control circuit electrically connected to the one or more illumination sources, wiring for an external power source, an internal power source, the motion sensor, and the light sensor, wherein the control circuit includes:
• a primary circuit that controls one or more of the illumination sources when the adaptive light fixture is in a first operating mode, wherein the primary circuit is connected to the external power source;
• wherein the connection to the external power source is controlled by an external power switch that is in electrical communication with the control circuit, and wherein the internal power source is in electrical connection with the external power source;
• and
• a secondary circuit that controls one or more of the illumination sources when the adaptive light fixture is in a second operating mode, wherein the internal power source is electrically connected to the secondary circuit when the adaptive light fixture is in the second operating mode.

A method for controlling function of a light fixture comprising:

• extinguishing, in response to an input received from an external light switch, a first illumination source of the light fixture;
• wherein prior to receiving the input, the first illumination source of the light fixture is connected to a primary electrical supply controlled through the external light switch and wherein the primary electrical supply is also connected to an internal rechargeable battery within the light fixture;
• receiving, from a light sensor at a control circuit of the light fixture, a first signal that indicates that a brightness measure in an illumination area of the light fixture has fallen below a threshold light level;
• receiving, from a motion sensor electrically connected to the control circuit of the light fixture, one or more second signals that indicates movement of an entity in the illumination area of the light fixture;
• activating, in response to receiving the first signal and one or more of the second signals, an electrical connection between a second illumination source and the internal rechargeable battery of the light fixture;
• and
• illuminating, in response to activating the electrical connection, a second illumination source of the light fixture.
