1. A light fixture comprising:
- a matrix;
a circuit board supported by the matrix;
a plurality of electrical sockets fixedly coupled to the matrix and forming a matrix of electrical sockets, wherein the circuit board has conductors between the sockets to provide one or more sets of series connections of the sockets;
a detection circuit associated with each socket to detect inoperative light emitting diode modules; and
a transmitter coupled to the detection circuits for transmitting information identifying an array as having at least one inoperative light emitting diode plugged into a socket.

Abstract
A lighting system includes a plurality of LED lights having at least two different color LED lights. A controller is coupled to the LED lights for independently controlling the intensity of sets of different color LED lights. A program stored on a storage device is operable on the controller to control the intensity of each of the different sets of different color LED lights to produce light representative of color and intensity changes of outdoor daylight conditions.
