1. A system, comprising:

  • intelligent system elements, each respective intelligent system element comprising;

    a communication interface configured to enable communication via a network link;

    a memory;

    configuration data stored in the memory to implement a logical network arrangement of the respective intelligent system element with one or more others of the intelligent system elements to provide controlled lighting for a service area; and

    a processor coupled to have access to the memory and to communicate via the communication interface and the network link intelligent system element and configured to control operations of the respective intelligent system element, wherein;

    each of a plurality of the intelligent system elements includes a light source and is configured to operate as a lighting device,at least one of the intelligent system elements either includes a user interface element and is configured for lighting control or includes a detector and is configured as a sensor, andthe processor of the respective intelligent system element is configured to cause the respective intelligent system element to implement functions, including functions to, upon a change impacting the logical network arrangement;

    automatically exchange communications with one or more others of the intelligent system elements to autonomously establish an updated logical network arrangement of the respective intelligent system element with one or more others of the intelligent system elements;

    store updated configuration data in the memory to implement the updated logical network arrangement of the respective intelligent system element with one or more others of the intelligent system elements; and

    automatically cooperate with one or more others of the intelligent system elements in the updated logical network arrangement to provide the controlled lighting for the service area, based on the updated configuration data.
