<p>A light performance monitoring device (1000) and optionally integrated controller includes a monitor module (1020) that directly monitors energy usage of at least one energy load (1050) to generate at least one measurement of energy usage, a storage module (100 stores a series of baseline values of energy usage of the energy load, a comparator (1000) module compares energy measurements mad at predetermined intervals with the baseline values, and a notification module (1025) notifies a designated recipient that there is a deviation from the baseline values consistent with a burned out or non-operational light fixture, including but not limited to light bulbs or ballast devices (1050) A control module optionally integrated with the light performance monitopng device can be operatively coupled to the monitor module to control energy usage by the at least one energy load via a data link in a pre-determmed manner that i based on the at least one measurement of energy usage.</p>
