French term or phrase: en douche
Il est connu d’intégrer plusieurs modules lumineux en réseau au sein d’une installation. A titre d’exemple, les documents WO 2011/106623, WO 2010/116283 et WO 2011/123920 divulguent chacun un réseau de modules lumineux pilotés par un ou plusieurs contrôleurs et organisés de manière hiérarchique, notamment selon une organisation en douche.

as a cascade
Explanation:
This is an educated guess, but it fits with "hiérarchique" earlier in the sentence. "Organisation en douche" doesn't get any hits, and I wonder if this had been written by an Arabic speaker with French as their second language.
If you're not familiar with "cascade" in a control and management context, it means that data filters downwards from the top to whichever level of the hierarchy is relevant

washlight


Explanation:
C'est ce qu'on trouve dans le texte du premier brevet cité, traduit par Google ou un traducteur fatigué par "douche": une douche ça lave, mais un washlight pas du tout
