A network operation center for a light management system having networked intelligent luminaire managers. A plurality of networked luminaire managers, each collocated with a respective luminaire, monitor the status of their respective luminaires. The luminaire managers include transmitters for transmitting status information about their respective luminaires and third-party devices to a network server. The luminaire managers communicate with each other, whereby they form a network.

1. A method comprising: receiving, by one or more computers, information for a plurality of luminaires from a plurality of networked intelligent luminaire managers, each networked intelligent luminaire manager being coupled to an associated luminaire and configured to monitor and communicate a status of the associated luminaire;storing, by the one or more computers, the received information, wherein at least a portion of the stored information is available for an operator of the plurality of luminaires; andgenerating, by the one or more computers, an instruction to switch on one or more luminaires associated with one or more networked intelligent luminaire managers, wherein the instruction is generated based on the stored information and timing information provided by an internal clock of each respective networked intelligent luminaire manager. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, by the one or more computers, third party information originating from a radio frequency device, the third party information being received via one or more of the plurality of networked intelligent luminaire managers. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising: facilitating access, by the one or more computers, to the third party information by a second computer associated with an operator of the radio frequency device. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, by the one or more computers, a command to switch on a particular luminaire; androuting, by the one or more computers, the command to the networked intelligent luminaire manager coupled to the particular luminaire. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: adjusting a flow of communications between two or more of the plurality of networked intelligent luminaire managers. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: sending an alarm by the one or more computers if status information is received indicating that a particular luminaire of the plurality of luminaires is not functioning properly. 7.

The method of claim 12, further comprising: adjusting a flow of communications between selected networked intelligent luminaire manages. 15. The method of claim 12, further comprising: analyzing the received information; andgenerating a report based on the analysis. 16. A system for a network operation center, comprising: at least one database; andat least one server in communication with the at least one database, wherein the main server is configured to enable the network operation center to: receive information for a plurality of luminaires from a plurality of networked intelligent luminaire managers, each networked intelligent luminaire manager being coupled to an associated luminaire and configured to monitor and communicate a status of the associated luminaire;store, in the at least one database, the received information, wherein at least a portion of the stored information is available for an operator of the plurality of luminaires, andgenerate an instruction to switch on one or more luminaires associated with one or more networked intelligent luminaire managers, wherein the instruction is generated based on the stored information and timing information provided by an internal clock of each respective networked intelligent luminaire manager. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the main server is further configured to enable the network operation center to: receive third party information originating from a radio frequency device, the third party information being received via one or more of the plurality of luminaires. 18. The system of claim 16, wherein the main server is further configured to enable the network operation center to: receive a command to switch on a particular luminaire; androute the command to the networked intelligent luminaire manager coupled to the particular luminaire. 19. The system of claim 16, wherein the main server is further configured to enable the network operation center to: send an alarm if status information is received indicating that a particular luminaire of the plurality of luminaires is not functioning properly. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the alarm includes one or more of: location information for the particular luminaire, time of failure information for the particular luminaire, or type of failure information for the particular luminaire.
