Abstract
A lighting element is disposed in an array of lighting elements. At the lighting element, a lighting status of at least one neighboring lighting element is sensed. Independent of any other lighting element, a lighting adjustment for the lighting element by applying the sensed lighting status to a predetermined rule is determined. The lighting adjustment is applied to the lighting element to adjust an illumination of the lighting element.
