Probably a fair assumption that there's a power relay bank somewhere being controlled by software, as I highly doubt these are all "smart bulbs". If that's the case, just bypass the software unit with a panel of physical switches. It isn't as fancy, but it'll do the job.

Modern commercial lighting is installed with two connections: always on power, and then some kind of control. Either a data cable, or 0-10 volt wiring, or some kind of wireless thing. When the control method is not connected (or malfunctioning), the lights default to on for safety.

Ah, I see. Probably one of the first two, I feel like wireless capability for 7000 lights would be ridiculously expensive.

Edit: Possibly panel mounted pots for the second option instead of switches.
