Send a signal to USB using C#

My idea is to set off ligth in my room using the signal from laptop. I have already googled some experiments, but found no useful information about how this can be implemented. I think that the technology should be the same as the plug-n-play devices (LED lamps, etc) uses. How can we control USB external devices through USB port using programming languages.

All Arduino boards have one or more serial ports, most (all?) have a usb-to-serial converter on board, so they'll show up as a virtual com port when connected.

On the Arduino side: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Serial

On the C# side: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport(v=vs.110).aspx
