Claim:
1. A lighting network for facilitating operation of a lighting system comprising at least one light source and configured to generate light forming light avatars associated with a plurality of users, the network comprising: a memory for storing identifiers respectively uniquely associated with the plurality of users, wherein the memory stores sets of parameters uniquely describing respectively said plurality of users and stores data characteristically representing the light avatars for the plurality of users; an executive module configured to, in response to detection of identifiers of first and second users of said plurality of users, retrieve from the memory respective first and second sets of parameters of said sets of parameters that are respectively associated with said first and second users based on the identifiers of the first and second users, and data characteristically representing at least one light avatar uniquely associated with the first user, and to generate, based on the retrieved data, a control signal for controlling output settings of the at least one light source to generate the at least one light avatar, wherein the executive module is configured to generate the control signal based on a comparison between the first set and the second set of parameters; and at least one processor configured to execute the executive module, such that, during the operation of the lighting system, at least a portion of the light generated by the at least one light source forms the at least one light avatar based on the control signal.
