1. A method of controlling one or more properties of light output from LEDs, comprising:
- receiving a light origination input via a first user interface segment, the light origination input indicative of a light origination area;
identifying, based on the light origination input, one or more LEDs in the light origination area;
receiving a light destination input via a second user interface segment, the light destination input indicative of a light destination area;
determining, based on the light destination input, one or more control parameters related to the identified one or more LEDs in the light origination area, wherein the control parameters are determined to achieve illumination of the light destination area from the light origination area; and
implementing the one or more control parameters.

Abstract
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for lighting control. One or more properties of light output are controlled based on a light origination input and a light destination input received via one or more user interfaces. For example, in some embodiments a light origination input and a light destination input may be utilized to determine one or more control parameters of one or more LEDs to achieve illumination of a light destination area indicated by the light destination input, wherein the illumination is from a light origination area indicated by the light origination input.
