Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a particular lighting device in a lighting arrangement comprising a plurality of lighting devices, a central control device and a remote control device, the method comprising the steps of: directing the remote control device to the particular lighting device, such that the remote control device can detect an output supplied by said particular lighting device; transmitting changed output data of the lighting device by the remote control device, when said remote control device has detected a change of the output from the lighting device; transmitting operation-determinative data by the central control device when said central control device has received changed output data of the lighting device; changing a state of the particular lighting device when said particular lighting device has received operation-determinative data; wherein the user transmits a selecting command by the remote control device when the user wants to control the particular lighting device, the central control device enters a selection sequence when it has received said selecting command, during which sequence said central control device transmits operation-determinative data to lighting devices selected in a sequence by the central control device so as to temporarily change their output, and the central control device determines the particular lighting device from changed output data of the lighting device, which data has been received during the selection sequence for subsequently controlling said particular lighting device.
