This is a very frequent question here and there are innumerable ways to help
you to do what you want but the first question is - can you tell us more
about what's already there?  You said "Lighting Control Panel"  Can you tell
us the controller name, equipment nameplate, model number, instruction
manual description?  Anything you can provide would be helpful. That way we
can tailor a response that's most appropriate to what you already have (and
therefore most likely the least expensive route).
