Abstract
A lighting system is disclosed for deploying dynamic lighting effects. The lighting system includes a plurality of lighting devices, each lighting device being adapted to deploy a portion of a dynamic lighting effect, a controller and a network communication module, each lighting device is communicatively coupled in a mesh network 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 adapted to broadcast a configurable dynamic lighting effect function to the plurality of lighting devices, said configurable dynamic lighting effect function defining the dynamic lighting effect to be deployed by the lighting system, wherein at least some of the plurality of lighting devices' respective controllers 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 the at least some of the plurality of lighting devices' neighboring lighting devices to facilitate deployment of its portion of the dynamic lighting effect, determining the at least some of the plurality of lighting devices' illumination state information from the configured configurable dynamic lighting effect function and communicating the determined illumination state information to at least one of the at least some of the plurality of lighting devices' neighboring lighting devices.
