Abstract
A system controls lighting devices at one or more light-enabled facilities, each of which includes gateway controller at each facility. A facility's gateway controller pairs with a portable electronic device when the portable electronic device arrives at the facility. The gateway controller portable electronic device receives light operation requests from the portable electronic device upon arrival, or from the remote server before arrival. Each light operation request adjusts various hardware settings of the lighting devices to alter the optical characteristics of emitted light at various times. The system also may use geolocation data to identify and schedule lighting services at various light-enabled facilities in a geographic area.
