Method for controlling the light distribution of a traffic road luminaire in a network of luminaires , the traffic road luminaire including a luminaire head having a settable light module and a controller, the light distribution of the traffic road luminaire being variable, the method comprising:- providing communication between the traffic road luminaire and at least one server in the network of luminaires; communicating, from the traffic road luminaire , luminaire data to said at least one server, said luminaire data being luminaire-specific ; automatically allocating, by said at least one server, a light distribution to the luminaire in accordance with the communicated luminaire data; and automatically setting the light module on the basis of the allocated light distribution, characterized in that : • said luminaire data communicated from the traffic road luminaire to said at least one server includes the installation location of the traffic road luminaire , and in that the method further comprising the step of: determining, by said at least one server, a light distribution class of the traffic road luminaire on the basis of a traffic road topology; wherein the light distribution is allocated, by said at least one server, in accordance with the light distribution class; and wherein the light distribution class arises from the installation location communicated to said at least one server. providing communication between the traffic road luminaire and at least one server in the network of luminaires; communicating, from the traffic road luminaire , luminaire data to said at least one server, said luminaire data being luminaire-specific ; automatically allocating, by said at least one server, a light distribution to the luminaire in accordance with the communicated luminaire data; and automatically setting the light module on the basis of the allocated light distribution, characterized in that : • said luminaire data communicated from the traffic road luminaire to said at least one server includes the installation location of the traffic road luminaire , and in that the method further comprising the step of: determining, by said at least one server, a light distribution class of the traffic road luminaire on the basis of a traffic road topology; wherein the light distribution is allocated, by said at least one server, in accordance with the light distribution class; and wherein the light distribution class arises from the installation location communicated to said at least one server. • said luminaire data communicated from the traffic road luminaire to said at least one server includes the installation location of the traffic road luminaire , and in that the method further comprising the step of: determining, by said at least one server, a light distribution class of the traffic road luminaire on the basis of a traffic road topology; wherein the light distribution is allocated, by said at least one server, in accordance with the light distribution class; and wherein the light distribution class arises from the installation location communicated to said at least one server. determining, by said at least one server, a light distribution class of the traffic road luminaire on the basis of a traffic road topology; wherein the light distribution is allocated, by said at least one server, in accordance with the light distribution class; and wherein the light distribution class arises from the installation location communicated to said at least one server. <EOS>
