1. A unified lighting system comprising:
- a plurality of light emitting devices, wherein each of the light emitting devices generates a color output in response to a plurality of light settings;
a plurality of light control modules in communication with each other, wherein each of the light control modules is adapted to receive a control signal, adjust the light settings of at least one of the light emitting devices in response to the control signal, and propagate the control signal to others of the light control modules and;
a user interface in signal communication with at least one of the light control modules to transmit the control signal to the at least one of the light control modules, wherein the user interface emits an interface color output, and wherein the light settings of the light emitting devices are adjusted so the color output of each of the light emitting devices substantially matches the interface color output.

Abstract
A unified lighting system including a plurality of light emitting devices, wherein each light emitting device generates a color output in response to a plurality of light settings and a modification to the light settings of one light emitting device is automatically propagated to the other light emitting devices, thereby providing a substantially uniform color output of the lighting system.
