Patent ID: 8115398

Claim:
A lighting system configured to copy an illumination pattern from a first location and reproduce said illumination pattern to a second location, the system comprising: a first light source configured to provide a first light for illuminating the first location, a second light source configured to provide a second light for illuminating the second location, a light detector comprising: a first sensor configured to receive the first light substantially directly from the first light source and measure first light attributes of the first light, a second sensor configured to receive the first light at least partially reflected by one or more surfaces in the first location and measure second light attributes of the first light, a memory configured to store a database including a specification of the second light source, a processing module configured to: determine perceivable first light attributes at the first based at least in part on the first light attributes and the second light attributes, and control the second light source based at least in part on the perceivable first light attributes and the specification of the second light source to provide the second light having perceivable second light attributes at the second location that substantially match the perceivable first light attributes at the first location.
