1. A system to manage a pattern of lighting themes for a plurality of lamps, the system comprising:
a lighting controller configured to generate a data encoded power signal to provide power and encoded messages including pattern information over line voltage wiring, the pattern information including a request to implement a lighting theme pattern of a plurality of lighting theme patterns or a pattern definition that defines at least a portion of a lighting theme pattern, wherein the at least a portion of the lighting theme pattern comprises an indication of a lighting theme of a plurality of lighting themes; and
a plurality of control adapters, each control adapter of the plurality of control adapters configured to receive the data encoded power signal over the line voltage wiring, each control adapter configured to be in electrical communication with a respective lamp of a plurality of lamps, each control adapter including a processor, and memory storing instructions, that when executed by the processor, configure the control adapter to:
decode at least a portion of the encoded message from the received data encoded power signal;
for the decoded at least a portion that includes the pattern definition, store the indication of the lighting theme in the memory; and
for the decoded at least a portion that includes the requested lighting theme pattern,
retrieve from the memory one or more stored lighting themes that are associated with the requested lighting theme pattern;
retrieve from the memory one or more stored settings for the respective lamp that are associated with the one or more retrieved lighting themes; and
provide in sequence to the respective lamp, a signal responsive to the retrieved one or more settings for each lighting theme of the requested lighting theme pattern.
