Claim:
1. A lighting system comprising: - at least one lighting control console for controlling lighting devices, the lighting control console including at least one digital processor and at least one digital memory which are suitable for generating, managing and storing digital control data for actuating lighting devices; - at least two redundant data networks on which the digital control data of the lighting control console is transmitted independently of each other; - a first conversion module connected to a first data network of the at least two redundant data networks, the first conversion module converting digital control data transmitted in the first data network into DMX control data; a second conversion module connected to a second data network of the at least two redundant data networks, the second conversion module converting digital control data transmitted in the second data network into DMX control data; - at least one lighting device actuated by DMX control data of the conversion module and the second conversion module; -at least one switch-over device interconnected between the first conversion module and the second conversion module on one side, and the at least one lighting device on an other side, wherein depending on a switching state of the at least one switch-over device, one of the DMX control data of the first conversion device and the DMX control data of the second conversion device is transmitted to the at least one lighting device; and - at least one monitoring data line connecting the first conversion module and the second conversion module on the one side and the at least one switch-over device on the other side, wherein monitoring signals describing operational availability of the first conversion module and the second conversion module are transmitted to the at least one switch-over device over the at least one monitoring data line, wherein the at least one switch-over device is switched depending on the monitoring signals.
