A light fixture management system and method is provided for tracking one or more of the location, history and operating characteristics of light fixtures in a structure or a group of structures and surrounding premises. Each fixture is assigned indicia such as an identifier transmitted by a RFID transponder, information regarding which is stored in a database in association with fixture details. Fixtures requiring repair or maintenance are identified and the identifier is received by a portable reader. A user may optionally enter into the reader any observable problem. Received and entered information is downloaded into a computer, which generates a repair route for identified fixtures based on their locations and identified problems. Reports may be generated with other desired information such as the location of the circuit breaker associated with each fixture. The task of tracking light fixtures is thus simplified and efficiency and effectiveness of repair personnel increased.
