A delay module is used with one or more lighting fixtures that receive an AC signal from an electrical circuit. The delay module includes an input node, which is coupled to the electrical circuit, and an output node, which is coupled to a driver module of one or more lighting fixtures. When an AC signal is initially presented to the electrical circuit, such as when a wall controller is switched to an on state, the delay module will provide, or maintain, an open circuit between the input node and the output node for a predetermined delay period. When the delay period expires, the delay module will provide a closed circuit between the input node and the output node, wherein the AC signal is passed from the electrical circuit to the driver module of the associated lighting fixture(s).
