Abstract
A method of determining the position of an array of sensors, an array of solid-state lamps, or other devices which sense or emit electromagnetic waves includes first determining a sensing or emitting distribution for one of the devices, then integrating that distribution over the area to be covered by the sensors or emitters. In response to the integrated distribution, the sensors or emitters may be repositioned, reconfigured, or reoriented to provide desired coverage. Wireless access points that communicate to wireless end points associated with the lights and/or sensors are designed and positioned to provide adequate signal strength. All elements, light distribution, sensor range, and wireless signal strength may be plotted in contour plots within the same user interface that enables users to place the devices in a specified area.
