Abstract:
Systems and methods for automatic targeted illumination based on aggregate illumination from multiple light sources are disclosed. In embodiments, a method includes: determining, by a computing device, a localized area of a defined physical location based on received location information; determining, by the computing device, a desired level of brightness for the localized area; calculating, by the computing device, an illumination level at the localized area based on current illumination levels of lighting devices within the defined physical location and locations of the lighting devices within the defined physical location; generating, by the computing device, instructions to effect a change in one or more of the lighting devices, wherein the change in the one or more lighting devices results in the desired level of brightness for the localized area; and sending, by the computing device, the instructions to at least one controller of the one or more lighting devices.
