Patent ID: 8294374

Claim:
A lighting system comprising: a first controllable light source generating a first light; a second controllable light source generating a second light; a first detector configured to receive at least a portion of the first light and measure at least one attribute thereof in a first predetermined location proximate to the first controllable light source; a memory configured to store at least one of an operating specification of the second controllable light source and at least one operating parameter of the first controllable light source; a processor configured to receive said at least one attribute of said first light, based at least in part on the received at least one attribute of said first light and said operating specification of said second controllable light source, control said second controllable light source to generate said second light, wherein said processor is operable to map said at least one operating parameter of said first controllable light to said operating specification of said second controllable light to determine an initial setting for said second controllable light; said initial setting for second light has at least one second light attribute that substantially matches said at least one first light attribute of the first light in a predetermined second location proximate to the second controllable light source.
