1. A light emitting diode light and communication system comprising:
- at least one optical transceiver comprising at least one optical transceiver location identifier, the at least one optical transceiver further comprising;
a light support having at least one light emitting diode and at least one photodetector attached thereto, said at least one light emitting diode generating light as illumination, said illumination comprising a plurality of flashes of illumination having a frequency which is not observable to the unaided eyes of an individual, wherein said plurality of flashes of illumination do not harm eyes of an individual; and
a processor in communication with the at least one light emitting diode and the at least one photodetector, the processor constructed and arranged to regulate said plurality of flashes of illumination to generate at least one communication signal embedded within said illumination said at least one communication signal comprising said at least one optical transceiver location identifier, wherein said at least one optical transceiver is in communication with at least one lighting system or security system, said processor being constructed and arranged to calculate proximity of said at least one communication signal,wherein the at least one optical transceiver is engaged to a lighting fixture within a building.
