Abstract:
1. A method of predicting performance of a lighting module that provides variable lighting to an environment, the lighting module comprising a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) powered with a power management unit (PMU) in accordance with input from at least one sensor communicatively coupled to the PMU and a set of stored rules, the set of stored rules including at least one rule corresponding to at least one condition of the environment, the method comprising: A) receiving, via a network, logged sensor data from the PMU, the logged sensor data representing one or more conditions of the environment sensed with the at least one sensor; B) analyzing past patterns of the logged sensor data received in A); C) generating a change in at least one rule in the set of stored rules based on the past patterns analyzed in B); D) making a prediction of at least one of: E) providing, via the network, the prediction made in D) to an operator of the environment.
