1. A system comprising:
- a controller configured to be communicatively coupled to a sensor and a light emitting diode (LED)-based lighting device having a plurality of LEDs, wherein the controller is operable to;
receive, from the sensor, a first sensor signal indicating a brightness level of light during operation of the LED-based lighting device at a first time period;
determine, based on the first sensor signal, that the LED-based light device should be replaced;
responsive to determining that the LED-based light device should be replaced, transmitting a first command signal to the LED-based light device, wherein the first command signal comprises a command to illuminate a first LED of the plurality of LEDs according to a first color and illuminate a second LED of the plurality of LEDs adjacent to the first LED according to a second color, wherein the first color is different from the second color.

Abstract
An LED-based light includes one or more LEDs, a sensor arranged to detect a brightness level in an area resulting from the combination of light emitted by the LEDs with light from at least one ambient light source other than the LEDs, and operable to output a signal corresponding to the detected brightness level, a controller operable to regulate an amount of power provided to the LEDs in response to the signal, a light transmitting housing for the LEDs, the sensor and the controller and a connector shaped for connection with a light socket disposed at an end of the housing.
