just some hint dropping:

The light protocol is called DMX, its the Midi in the light world. There 
are USB/DMX adapters out so I guess google is your friend.

on the otherhand there are also light consoles which also takes Midi/in 
so you can control lights direct or by program/change settings. That is 
the easier way I guess because it doesn't include a possible DMX / 
external of which I dont know if it exists.

Cheers,

Malte
