Lighting system for growing plants which provides a location indication
A lighting system includes an LED controller, and an LED array which includes first and second LED sub-arrays, wherein the LED array is operatively coupled to the LED controller. The lighting system includes an antenna in communication with the LED controller. First and second wavelength spectrums are provided by the first and second LED sub-arrays, respectively, and are adjustable in response to adjusting an input signal provided to the antenna.
1. An apparatus, comprising:
a lighting system array capable of operatively communicating with a computer; the computer being configured to:
determine a location parameter of each lighting system of the lighting system array, the location parameter corresponding to the location of a corresponding lighting system; and
provide a digital location map corresponding to the location parameters; and
wherein the digital location map is adjusted in response to adjusting the location parameter of at least one lighting system of the lighting system array.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer provides a digital light map corresponding to the amount of light provided by the lighting system array.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , further including a light sensor array which determines the amount of light provided by the lighting system array, the light sensor array being in communication with the computer.
4. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the digital light map is driven to a desired digital light map in response to adjusting the location of at least one lighting system of the lighting system array.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the amount of light provided by at least one lighting system of the lighting system array is adjusted in response to adjusting a selected location parameter.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer determines the location parameter of each lighting system in the lighting system array using a global positioning system indication.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer determines the location parameter of each lighting system in the lighting system array using a radio signal strength indication.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer determines the location parameter of each lighting system in the lighting system array using triangulation.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer determines the location parameter of each lighting system in the lighting system array using network ping response rate.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer determines the location parameter of each lighting system in the lighting system array using a wireless mesh network.
11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer determines the location parameter of each lighting system in the lighting system array using a wireless personal area network.
