Wiring Question regarding fibre cable

  • Hey, I'm fairly new to Industrial Craft, and am wanting to do something with my energy grid, but can't figure out how. Unable to find an answer to it on forums or wiki either. Basically I want power coming through a fibre cable from my power plant (nuclear or solar, doesn't matter) to be converted to a signal that can be picked up by the red alloy wire from redpower mod / redstone to be wired through a building to supply power for the lights, pumps, etc. Is this possible, or am I stuck using a simple switch to turn everything on and off... I was hoping to have it to where there would be an AND gate, where the switch would control one part, but the other input must come from the powerplant, before the lights can come on. Same for the pumps.
