Combined lighting device with an integrated dimming control system

A multi-scene, multi-zone lighting device comprising:

• a support structure of a lighting device supporting multiple lighting zones, each lighting zone including one or more lighting sources, one or more of the multiple zones defining a lighting scene;
• a master dimming control built into the support structure, the master dimming control having a power input line and multiple dimmers, each dimmer having an output line, and each of the zones coupled to one of the dimmer output lines to receive a controlled setting from the corresponding dimmer;
• and
• a remote control device including a communications module in communications with the master dimming control, a memory for storing N sets of settings for the multiple zones, and a user interface for a user to select a stored setting for each zone,
• the master dimming control including a communications receiver and a controller responsive to receiving the set of settings to set the controlled setting of the corresponding dimmer for each zone in the selected scene and thereby conform the zones to the set of settings in the selected scene;
• in which a single power line provides power to the master dimming controller which in turn distributes power according the settings in the selected scene to the zones.

A multi-scene, multi-zone lighting device comprising:

• a support structure of a lighting device supporting multiple lighting zones, each lighting zone including one or more lighting sources, the multiple zones together defining a lighting scene;
• a master dimming control built into the support structure, the master dimming control having a power input line and multiple dimmers, each dimmer having an output line, and each of the zones coupled to one of the dimmer output lines to receive a controlled setting from the corresponding dimmer;
• a remote control device including a communications module in communications with the master dimming control, a memory for storing N sets of settings for the multiple zones, each set of settings defining the settings for a scene, and a user interface for a user to select and transmit a stored set of settings for a desired scene to the master dimming control;
• the master dimming control including a controller responsive to receiving the set of settings to set the corresponding dimmers for the selected scene.

• in which the support structure includes an upper portion and a lower portion suspended from the upper portion, the lower portion supporting light sources for multiple zones and having a first diameter, and the upper portion having a second diameter at which one or more light sources for at least one additional zone are supported, the second diameter being greater than the first diameter.
