Abstract
A lighting structure having a climate sensor is disclosed. In one example, a lighting structure includes at least one light source and at least one climate sensor. Each climate sensor is configured to determine at least one ambient climate characteristic value that quantifies an ambient climate characteristic at a location distant from the lighting structure. For example, an ambient climate characteristic may be an ambient temperature of a distant object in the same room as the lighting structure. The lighting structure also includes a controller in communication with the at least one climate sensor. The controller is configured to receive the at least one ambient climate characteristic value from the at least one climate sensor. The controller is further configured to transmit information based on the at least one ambient climate characteristic value to a network.
