One or more light sources () may be selectively energized based on the one or more detected deformations. In some embodiments, one or more light sources contained in a first logical partition of the flexible lighting strip bound by at least one deformation may be energized to emit light having a first property. One or more light sources contained in a second logical partition of the flexible lighting strip separated from the first logical partition by at least one deformation may be energized to emit light having a second property different than the first property.
