Communications to/from a SafeLED IQ light fixture uses a unique power line communication technique developed by Safegate Group where the communication signals are superimposed on the series circuit current. In a 2A system the CCR is set at a low constant current and the ASP-SafeControl manages the intensity level of every single SafeLED IQ light fixture.
