Lighting System and Method for Controlling a Lighting System

摘要

A lighting system with a base station and a plurality of lighting units, as well as a method for controlling a lighting system are described. Each lighting unit ( 12 ) has a light source ( 14 ), a controller unit ( 18 ) and associated configuration data. A receiver ( 20 ) receives control commands over a medium shared by the lighting units ( 12 ), e.g. wireless. A base station ( 10 ) comprises a configuration memory unit ( 34 ) to store configuration data. A central processing unit ( 24 ) uses a transmitter ( 38 ) to transmit control commands to the lighting units ( 12 ). The lighting units ( 12 ) are addressed using data stored in the configuration memory unit. The lighting units ( 12 ) are operated sequentially.
