Abstract
The invention provides a light control system for a lighting network, including a plurality of light units wherein at least one light unit includes at least one sensor type, a distributed/centralized controller/central management system in communication with one or more of the light units, said controller/central management system sends control commands to one or more of said light units, in response to received light unit status/sensor information from one or more of said light units and/or status information from a connected device, and implements a lighting strategy relating to the characteristics of the plurality of light units, wherein the one or more neighboring light units' sensor type's detection threshold are adjusted using a predetermined strategy based on the new lighting strategy of the at least one light unit or the status information from the connected device.
