1. A method of associating a light source with an area for which the light source is positioned to provide lighting, comprising:
- receiving, with a plurality of spatially distributed communications units, one or more location signals from the area;
determining the physical position of the light source based on the location signals;
transmitting the determined physical position of the light source to a processor;
identifying, based on the determined physical position of the light source, one of a plurality of areas as the area for which the light source is positioned to provide lighting;
identifying at least one desired lighting condition for the identified area;
controlling, using the processor, operation of the light source based on the identified at least one desired lighting condition for the identified area.
