+=====Introduction=====
+The LightControl has been introduced for managing lights on the layout.\\
+  * Buildings
+  * Street lights
+  * Events

+====ID====
+Unique ID of this Light Control entry.\\
+====Output====
+The selected output, switch or __**[[:accgroups-en|Accessory Group]]**__ ID.\\
+Multiple entries for the same ID are valid as long as they do not overlap in time with each other.\\
+====Description====
+Free text to describe the light usage.\\
+====From====
+Time when to activate this light.\\
+Format: HH:mm\\
+To use the sunrise/sunset the __**[[:rocrailini-service-en#location|Location]]**__ must be set.\\
+====To====

+Format: HH:mm\\
+To use the sunrise/sunset the __**[[:rocrailini-service-en#location|Location]]**__ must be set.\\

+| Continuous | - | - | - | - | No parameters used |
+| Random | Min. OFF | Max. OFF | Min. ON | Max. ON | Randomised time in seconds *|
+| Blink | On time | Off time | - | - | Time in seconds *|
+| Fade-in | Steps per second | Max. brightness | - | - | Max. 255 (For color/light outputs only.) |
+| Fade-out | Steps per second | Start brightness | - | - | Max. 255 (For color/light outputs only.) | \\
+* In real time the model time is not taken into account here.
+====Enable====
+Enable the selected light control record.\\
+====Deactivate====
+Deactivated after the "**to time**" has been reached.\\
+This option should be disabled to fade-in a light and keep it active after the "**to time**" has been reached, and fade-out with another record for the same light.\\
+====RGB====
+Color support for __**[[:output-color-en|Outputs]]**__.\\
+If all values are "0", the values from the output are used. If only one value is greater than "0", the values from the lighting control are used. \\ Please note that these values are then also entered in the output.
+====Week days====
+If a light is not scheduled for the actual week day, it will not be touched; If its on, it stays on, and if its off, it stays off.\\
+==== Example ====
+This example {{:lightctrl:lightcontrol_test3.zip|}} was made with Rocrail Version 2.1.258 and demonstrates continuous, blinking and random light control. \\ \\
