WAVELENGTH SENSING LIGHTING SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
First Claim
1. A lighting system comprising:
- a light source included in an array to emit illuminating light, the array including a plurality of light sources;
a sensor included in the array configured to sense environmental light from an environment; and
a controller operatively connected to each of the sensor and the light source and configured to analyze the environmental light sensed by the sensor to at least one of detect and generate data relating to a condition of the environment, the data being transmittable in a transmitted data light;
wherein the controller is configured to receive data included in a received data light using the sensor; and
wherein the controller is configured to analyze the data included in the received data light and to control the transmission of the data light from the light source.

Abstract
A wavelength sensing lighting system that may comprise a light source included in an array to emit illuminating light, the array including a plurality of light sources, a sensor included in the array configured to sense environmental light from an environment, and a controller operatively connected to each of the sensor and the light source and may be configured to analyze the environmental light sensed by the sensor to at least one of detect and generate data relating to a condition of the environment, the data being transmittable in a data light. The controller may be configured to receive the data included in the data light using the sensor. The controller may be configured to analyze the data and to control the transmission of the data light from the light source.
