Patent attributes
An ad-hoc lighting network comprised of a plurality of light units, each of the light units including a light source, a manual input component, memory, a transmitter, a receiver, and a processing unit. A method of deploying the lighting network may include steps of providing a plurality of light units, placing each of the light units within a communication range, causing each of the light units to enter PAIRING MODE, causing each of the light units to add, into its network list, other unique identifiers of other light units; and causing each of the light units to enter PAIRED MODE. Light units function identically with respect to received reserved commands. Any light unit can broadcast commands, causing all light units in the network, or a subset thereof, to execute the command. Such commands may cause the desired lighting configuration.
