To recap, the lamp device will respond to the largest source of infra-red light (IR) in the room and react by pointing the spot light at that source. We intend to do this by equipping the head of the lamp with a series of four infra-red sensors and two servo motors that swing the head of the lamp in opposing axis (X and Y). The IR sensors will work in pairs, each across from each other. Each pair of sensors will be paired with a servo motor. If one of the sensors is reading a greater amount of IR light than its partner it will tell the servo motor to spin in its direction and vice versa. If both sensors are reading the same level of IR light, that means that center of the spotlight is at the greatest point of IR emission
and the servo motor will turn off. Doing this for both axis will result in the light pointing at the greatest source of IR light in the room.
