1. A modular lighting system comprising:
a first lighting unit comprising one or more light emitting diodes, a first cable connector, and a second cable connector;
a second lighting unit comprising one or more light emitting diodes, a first cable connector, and a second cable connector;
a control box comprising a first cable connector;
a first cable connecting the first cable connector of the control box to the first cable connector of the first lighting unit; and
a second cable connecting the second cable connector of the first lighting unit to the first cable connector of the second lighting unit,
wherein the first lighting unit is configured to adopt a first address received through the first cable and the first cable connector of the first lighting unit as a first address packet while the first lighting unit is in an addressable state, and
wherein the first lighting unit is configured to send a second address packet to the second lighting unit after the second lighting unit is placed in enters an addressable state from a non-addressable state,
wherein the second lighting unit is configured to enter the addressable state from the non-addressable state in response to the first lighting unit adopting the first address and the second lighting unit detecting a change in state in the second cable, and
wherein the second address packet comprises a second address different than the first address.
