Everything about Intelligent lighting
Automated light fixtures
Intelligent lighting refers to lighting that has automated or mechanical abilities beyond those of conventional, stationary illumination. Although the most advanced intelligent lights can produce extraordinarily complex effects, the intelligence lies with the human lighting designer, control system programmer, or the lighting operator, rather than the fixture itself. Intelligent lighting (ILS) is also known as automated lighting, moving lights, moving heads, or simply movers. Wikipedia →
