    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer-readable media for controlling a lighting unit are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a controller may be operably coupled with one or more light sensors. The controller may, in some embodiments, be configured to receive, from the one or more light sensors, one or more signals indicative of light detected by the one or more light sensors. The controller may facilitate transition of one or more light sources of a lighting unit between first and second lighting states responsive to a determination, based on the one or more signals, that a change in a property of the light detected by the one or more light sensors satisfies a predetermined criterion, such as a threshold rate of change of the property of the detected light.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for lighting control. For example, a user may commission a touch-controlled luminaire (106) to emit light output having various lighting properties dependent on a manner in which the touch-controlled luminaire is touched subsequently. In particular, a user may use an electronic mobile device (102) such as a smart phone, tablet computer, or a wearable computing device (e.g., computing glasses, smart watches) to associate a touch event profile indicative of a manner in which a touch-controlled luminaire was touched (e.g., tapped, swiped, etc.) with a lighting control action. The user may then provide that association to the touch-controlled luminaire. When the touch-controlled luminaire is later touched in the same manner, it may adjust its light output in accordance with the lighting control action. Operation and commission of gesture-controlled luminaires (706) is also described herein.
