1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an enclosure that has one or more windows;
one or more internal sensors that sense an internal light condition and generate an internal light condition signal that corresponds to the internal light condition;
one or more lighting control components that include an edge lit panel that has a panel portion and an array of lighting elements that are positioned along an edge of the panel portion; and
a controller configured to;
receive data that represent an image that was captured by a camera;
determine a configuration for the internal light condition based on a color gradient defined by a first color value from a first portion of the image and a second color value from a second portion of the image, andcontrol operation of the edge lit panel of the one or more lighting control components to define the color gradient in the enclosure according to the configuration for the internal light condition and the internal light condition signal.

15. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an enclosure that has one or more windows that include a first window; one or more internal sensors that sense an internal light condition and generate an internal light condition signal that corresponds to the internal light condition; lighting control components that include a variable light transmittance component that is associated with the first window and an edge lit panel that has a panel portion and an array of lighting elements that are positioned along an edge of the panel portion, wherein the edge lit panel is positioned adjacent to the first window; and a controller configured to; receive data that represent an image that was captured by a camera; determine a configuration for the internal light condition based on the image; and control operation of the variable light transmittance component and the edge lit panel of the one or more lighting control components based on the internal light condition signal to maintain the internal light condition according to the configuration for the internal light condition.

16. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an enclosure that has an interior space and one or more windows that include a first window; one or more internal sensors that sense an internal light condition and generate an internal light condition signal that corresponds to the internal light condition; lighting control components that an edge lit panel that has a panel portion and an array of lighting elements that are positioned along an edge of the panel portion, wherein the edge lit panel is positioned adjacent to the first window; and a controller configured to; receive data that represent an image that was captured by a camera; determine a configuration for the internal light condition that includes a first light condition that is based on a first color value from a first portion of the image and a second light condition that is based on a second color value from a second portion of the image, and control operation of a first group of the lighting elements of the edge lit panel of to maintain the first light condition in a first area of the interior space, and control operation of a second group of the lighting elements of the edge lit panel to maintain the second light condition in a second area of the interior space.
