Abstract:
A lighting system ( 100 ) is disclosed for deploying dynamic lighting effects. The lighting system comprises a plurality of lighting devices ( 10,10 ′) adapted to deploy a portion of a dynamic lighting effect and comprising a controller ( 13 ) and a network communication module ( 15 ). The lighting devices form a mesh network through their respective network communication modules such that each lighting device is communicatively coupled to at least one neighboring lighting device and adapted to communicate illumination state information to the at least one neighboring lighting device. The lighting system further comprises a system controller ( 110 ) communicatively coupled to the mesh network and adapted to broadcast a configurable dynamic lighting effect function to the lighting devices in the mesh network, wherein the respective controllers of at least some of the lighting devices in the mesh network are adapted to configure the lighting device by extrapolating configuration information for configuring the configurable dynamic lighting effect function to facilitate deployment of its portion of the dynamic lighting effect from illumination state information received from at least one of its neighboring lighting devices; determining its illumination state information from the extrapolated configuration information; and communicating the determined illumination state information to at least one of its neighboring lighting devices. A lighting device and a configuration method for such a lighting system are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A lighting system for deploying dynamic lighting effects, the lighting system comprising:\n a plurality of lighting devices, each lighting device being adapted to deploy a portion of a dynamic lighting effect and comprising a controller and a network communication module, the respective lighting devices being interconnected in a mesh network through their respective network communication modules such that each lighting device is communicatively coupled to at least one neighboring lighting device and adapted to communicate illumination state information to the at least one neighboring lighting device; and a system controller communicatively coupled to the mesh network and adapted to broadcast a configurable dynamic lighting effect function to the lighting devices in the mesh network, said configurable dynamic lighting effect function defining the dynamic lighting effect to be deployed by the lighting system; wherein the respective controllers of at least some of the lighting devices in the mesh network are adapted to configure the lighting device by: configuring the configurable dynamic lighting effect function based on illumination state information received from at least one of its neighboring lighting devices to facilitate deployment of its portion of the dynamic lighting effect; determining its illumination state information from the configured configurable dynamic lighting effect function; and communicating the determined illumination state information to at least one of its neighboring lighting devices.
