Barrier systems with programmable light assembly

A method for using a barrier system, the method comprising:

• positioning a barrier system at a location, the barrier system comprising:
• a barrier having an interior surface and an opposing exterior surface, the interior surface bounding a chamber that is adapted to receive a ballast;
• and
• a light assembly secured to the barrier, the light assembly comprising a housing, a lens coupled with the housing and at least partially bounding a compartment, a light emitting device at least partially disposed within the compartment, and programmable circuity in electrical communication with the light emitting device;
• communicating with the programmable circuity of the barrier system through a control device after the barrier system is positioned at the location so that data is transferred between the control device and the programmable circuity of the barrier system,
• wherein the programmable circuity of the light assembly transfers data to the control device, the data comprising a temperature reading at the light assembly or an operational condition of the light assembly.
