Lighting control adapter 200 is installed into an existing fixture base 102 typically by threading male base 201 into the female socket 204 of the fixture base 102. Male base 201 typically comprises threads that mate with grooves formed inside of female socket 204. However, in other embodiments, male base 201 may comprise other well-known mechanisms that allow male base 201 to connect to female socket 204. In certain embodiments, the male base 201 and the female socket 204 comprises a screw-cap type fitting with various size options, such as, but not limited to, E10, E14, E26 and E27. In other embodiments, the male base 201 and female socket 207 is a combination of, but not limited to, bayonets, Edison screw-cap, or GU24 type fittings. The optional user interface 205 allows a user to select whether the illumination device 103 turns ON or OFF during an initial power up from a light switch 100 and may further be used to program lighting control adapter 200 to energize and de-energize illumination device 103 as lighting control adapter 200 senses one or more cyclic voltage changes within a predetermined time period, herein referred to as a “power toggle”. A cyclic voltage change may be defined as a transition from a first voltage to a second voltage and then back to the first voltage within a predetermined time period, typically on the order of several hundred milliseconds. In one embodiment, a cyclic voltage change is defined as a voltage changing from “high” voltage (e.g., 120 VAC) to “l(fā)ow” voltage (zero VAC) and back to “high” voltage within 500 milliseconds.
