1. A system comprising:
a first luminaire configured to operate within a wireless mesh network, the first luminaire comprising:
(a) a first receiver configured to receive at least one message containing a first network address,
(b) a first controller configured to generate, based on the first network address matching a network address stored at the first luminaire, a first series of output control signals to change light output incrementally in accordance with an output control indication,
(c) a first lamp configured to provide light based on the first series of output control signals, and
(d) a first transmitter configured to transmit, via the wireless mesh network, a second series of messages containing the output control indication, wherein the second series of messages corresponds to generating the first series of output control signals; and
a second luminaire configured to operate within the wireless mesh network, the second luminaire comprising:
(a) a second receiver configured to receive at least some of the messages in the second series of messages,
(b) a second controller configured to generate, for each received message in the second series of messages, a second output control signal to change light output incrementally in accordance with the output control indication in the received message in the second series of messages,
(c) a second lamp configured to provide light based on the second output control signal, and
(d) a second transmitter configured to transmit, via the wireless mesh network and for each received message in the second series of messages, a message that contains the output control indication, resulting in a third series of messages being transmitted that correspond to the received messages in the second series of messages.
