There are SocketServer and SocketClient examples on the Gambas Software Farm. Click on "Examples", then select "Show filters", 
and enter "socket" for the filter.

Those should get you started.

To keep anyone from connecting to your server and messing with the lights, you'll probably want to implement an authorization 
key that the client must know to identify itself to the server.
