1. A programmable light control structure comprising:
- a power drive unit that receives power to power a plurality of lights; and
a processing unit in communication with the power drive unit and a user electronic device, wherein the processing unit;
directs the light control structure to modulate one or more of the plurality of lights in accordance with a modulation pattern;
receives a command from the user electronic device to show a humanly detectable visual indicator;
in response to the command, directs the light control structure to slowly flash the one or more of the plurality of lights; and
receives a message from the user electronic device specifying a parameter for the light control structure.

20. A method for programming a light control structure via a user electronic device, comprising:
-
pointing a user electronic device at a modulating light control structure and detecting the modulation pattern; decoding the modulation pattern to identify the light control structure; directing the identified light control structure to display a humanly detectable visual indicator; detecting that the identified light control structure is flashing one or more of its lights; determining that the one or more flashing lights are desired to be programmed by a user; receiving an input from the user to enter at least one parameter for the light control structure; and sending a message with the at least one parameter to the light control structure.
