Abstract
In one example, a lighting apparatus comprises a processor wherein the processor is configured to control a color-changing lighting effect generated by the lighting apparatus; wherein the processor is further configured to monitor an operating power source; and wherein the processor is further configured to synchronize the color-changing lighting effect in coordination with a parameter of the operating power source.

A lighting apparatus, comprising:
- a processor wherein the processor is configured to control a color-changing lighting effect generated by the lighting apparatus;
- wherein the processor is further configured to monitor an operating power source;
- and
- wherein the processor is further configured to synchronize the color-changing lighting effect in coordination with a parameter of the operating power source.
A lighting apparatus, comprising:
- a processor wherein the processor is configured to execute a program to control a lighting effect generated by the lighting apparatus;
- the processor is further configured to monitor an operating power source;
- and the processor is further configured to synchronize the execution of the program in coordination with a parameter of the operating power source.
A lighting apparatus, comprising:
- a processor wherein the processor is configured to control a lighting effect generated by the lighting apparatus;
- the processor is further configured to monitor a parameter of an operating power source;
- and
- the processor is further configured to synchronize the generation of the lighting effect in coordination with the parameter.
A method of generating a lighting effect, comprising the steps of:
- providing a lighting apparatus;
- providing power to the lighting apparatus;
- causing the lighting apparatus to monitor at least one parameter of the power provided to the lighting apparatus;
- and
- causing the lighting apparatus to generate a lighting effect in sync with the at least one parameter.
A lighting apparatus, comprising:
- a processor wherein the processor is configured to execute a program to control a lighting effect generated by the lighting apparatus;
- the processor is further configured to receive a synchronizing signal from an external source;
- and
- the processor is further configured to synchronize the execution of the program in coordination the synchronizing signal.
