Claim:
1. A system for predicting a life expectancy of a plurality of luminaires, the system comprising: a gateway configured to control a dimming controller to provide a plurality of dimming levels to a plurality of luminaires, the gateway further configured to receive information related to the plurality of luminaires, the information comprising a current dimming level, a color intensity, and at least one environmental condition, and the gateway further configured to relay the information to at least one server; and at least one sensor subsystem for detecting the information by detecting current conditions of at least one of the luminaires, the sensor subsystem comprising a first sensor to detect the color intensity and a second sensor to detect at least one change in the environmental condition, wherein the information is relayed to the gateway; wherein the server comprises: a luminaire database configured to receive and store the information; and a processor configured to receive and use the information to calculate and predict the life expectancy of the luminaires and to generate and relay a life expectancy report to a user.
