Systems and methods for providing grow lighting are described. One embodiment of a method includes receiving a lighting cycle for a predetermined plant type and receiving a command for implementing the lighting cycle with a grow lighting assembly on a plant, where the grow lighting assembly includes a grow lighting device with a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs). Some embodiments also include determining an illumination pattern for implementing the lighting cycle for the grow lighting assembly and sending the illumination pattern to the grow lighting assembly for implementation.

A method for controlling a chromaticity of total light provided by a lighting system includes detecting the total light by a sensor system, determining a component of the total light that is attributable to uncontrolled light, and selecting a calibration for a sensor based on the uncontrolled light, and using the calibration to adjust the output of the sensor system. The calibration tables may be based on spectral responsivity of the sensors in the sensor system and calibration functions rather than physical light sources. Relative intensities of controllable light sources having different xy values are then adjusted to cause the total light provided by the lighting system to approximate a target chromaticity. A daylighting system implementing this method includes controllable light sources with different xy values. The intensities of the controllable light sources are adjusted to augment sunlight to control the chromaticity of total light provided by the daylighting system.

This information processing method is executed by an electric light bulb light source apparatus, which includes a lighting unit, and a functional unit, the information processing method including: selecting, from any of a parent mode and a child mode, an operation mode for cooperative control with a different electric light bulb light source apparatus with respect to the functional unit, and setting the selected operation mode. In a case where the parent mode is set, the lighting unit is caused to execute a first lighting operation for the parent mode in response to a predetermined lighting control signal relating to an operation of the lighting unit, and a cooperative control signal for causing a second lighting operation for the child mode to be executed is transmitted to the different electric light bulb light source apparatus set to the child mode, the second lighting operation for the child mode being different from the first lighting operation. In a case where the child mode is set, the lighting unit is caused to execute the second lighting operation on the basis of the cooperative control signal transmitted from the different electric light bulb light source apparatus set to the parent mode.
