Intelligent lighting systems include lighting fixtures communicatively coupled to processors and memory to provide efficient, highly responsive, and custom-tailored lighting to meet the needs and preferences of a given user or application. A gateway device provides connectivity linking lighting fixtures to the cloud to enhance data collection, analysis, and lighting control. Configuration profiles along with identification sensing provide object-specific and person-specific lighting conditions within intelligent lighting system environments. Configuration, control, monitoring, and reporting related to intelligent lighting systems are simplified with cloud-based and mobile apps compared to legacy lighting system technologies.
