A lighting system for areal illumination is disclosed which includes a remote driver and a plurality of fixtures including luminaires, control devices, andor standalone sensors. In accordance with the invention, the actuator is pivotally mounted on the connecting element via a pivot point, which is disposed below the pivot point of the first arm. A programmable logic controller electronically coupled to the micro air-switch valve controls the duration the air-switch valve remains open. The data may be further compressed by transforming the data, as with a discrete cosine transform, and by modifying the transformed data in accordance with a quantization conversion table that is selected using a data type associated with the data. The computer-implemented method and system may utilize this telematics information to provide a prioritized ranked list of restaurants for the user.
