Abstract: According to some embodiments, data about a plurality of remote energy efficient light fixture networks may be received, and each energy efficient light fixture network is associated with a customer of an enterprise and includes a plurality of energy efficient light fixtures equipped with wireless communication devices. Based on data indicative of energy consumption by a first customer, a first energy savings amount may be determined for the first customer in connection with a pre-determined period of time. An allocation of the first energy savings amount between the first customer and the enterprise may be dynamically calculated and an indication of the allocation between the first customer and the enterprise may be transmitted.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a light bulb may include a base adapted to be coupled to a power socket, lighting circuitry supporting at least one lighting element to provide illumination, a communication element to exchange information with at least one remote device, and a receiving portion. An extendable sensor mount may include a first end attached to be attached to the receiving portion of the light bulb and a second end, opposite the first end, extendable with respect to the light bulb. A sensor may be coupled to the second end of the extendable sensor mount, and data collected by the sensor may be transmitted to the at least one remote device via the communication element of the light bulb.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, information about at least one user associated with a light fixture network, having a plurality of light fixtures each equipped with a wireless communication device, may be received. A bio-algorithm to be applied to the light fixture network may then be determined based on the information about the at least one user. An appropriate lighting parameter (e.g., a luminescence, a wattage, a color characteristic, and/or a wavelength) for at least one of the light fixtures in the light fixture network may be dynamically calculated, and it may be arranged for the at least one light fixture to operate in accordance with the dynamically calculated lighting parameter.
