1. A system for configuring light structures comprising:
a light engine including at least one lighting scheme comprised of light emitting diodes (LEDs); and
a plurality of driver electronics for powering the light engine, each of the drivers in the plurality of driver electronics including at least a mixing integrated circuit (IC) for controlling current to the at one lighting schemes, and a near field communication (NFC) circuit having a near field communication (NFC) receiver and memory for storing instructions for sending signals from the NFC circuit to the mixing integrated circuit, the NFC receiver receiving an external command signal that the instructions stored in the memory of the NFC circuit employ to provide for an NFC control signal to the mixing integrated circuit (IC) to adjust lighting characteristics of the light engine, the memory of the NFC circuit including instructions for a read function and a record function, the read function for sending lighting characteristic settings from the memory of the driver circuit to a mobile device for setting lighting characteristics in the light structures of the system, and the record function for receiving lighting characteristics from the mobile device for setting lighting characteristics to the driver circuit of the light structures of the system, wherein the mobile device transfers lighting characteristic settings for controlling illumination from a first driver in the plurality of driver electronics of the system for configuring light structures to at least a second driver in the plurality of driver electronics of the system for configuring the light structures using the read and record functions of the memory.
