A method of controlling light of a lighting apparatus by using an image code, the method comprising: capturing an image including a symbolic image code using a camera of a control apparatus ; displaying (S510) the image on a display unit of the control apparatus ; acquiring (S520), by a control unit of the control apparatus , apparatus information by recognizing the symbolic image code; the method being characterised by the following steps: transmitting (S730), by the control unit to a lighting apparatus (400-1 - 400-N) having the acquired apparatus information, a menu request message for requesting a lighting menu including a list of available lighting states of the lighting apparatus; receiving (S740), from the lighting apparatus (400-1 - 400-N) by the control unit , a menu response message including the lighting menu; displaying (S750), by the control unit , the lighting menu on the display unit of the control apparatus ; and transmitting (S540), by the control unit to the lighting apparatus (400-1 - 400-N), a light request message for requesting light settings corresponding to a lighting state selected from the displayed lighting menu through user input; wherein the symbolic image code includes at least one of a barcode, a QR code, a data matrix, a PDF417, a maxi code, a color code, a Gray code, and a three-dimensional barcode; and wherein the lighting states relate to intensities of light emitted from at least one light-emitting element of the lighting apparatus (400-1 - 400-N). capturing an image including a symbolic image code using a camera of a control apparatus ; displaying (S510) the image on a display unit of the control apparatus ; acquiring (S520), by a control unit of the control apparatus , apparatus information by recognizing the symbolic image code; the method being characterised by the following steps: transmitting (S730), by the control unit to a lighting apparatus (400-1 - 400-N) having the acquired apparatus information, a menu request message for requesting a lighting menu including a list of available lighting states of the lighting apparatus; receiving (S740), from the lighting apparatus (400-1 - 400-N) by the control unit , a menu response message including the lighting menu; displaying (S750), by the control unit , the lighting menu on the display unit of the control apparatus ; and transmitting (S540), by the control unit to the lighting apparatus (400-1 - 400-N), a light request message for requesting light settings corresponding to a lighting state selected from the displayed lighting menu through user input; transmitting (S730), by the control unit to a lighting apparatus (400-1 - 400-N) having the acquired apparatus information, a menu request message for requesting a lighting menu including a list of available lighting states of the lighting apparatus; receiving (S740), from the lighting apparatus (400-1 - 400-N) by the control unit , a menu response message including the lighting menu; displaying (S750), by the control unit , the lighting menu on the display unit of the control apparatus ; and transmitting (S540), by the control unit to the lighting apparatus (400-1 - 400-N), a light request message for requesting light settings corresponding to a lighting state selected from the displayed lighting menu through user input; wherein the symbolic image code includes at least one of a barcode, a QR code, a data matrix, a PDF417, a maxi code, a color code, a Gray code, and a three-dimensional barcode; and wherein the lighting states relate to intensities of light emitted from at least one light-emitting element of the lighting apparatus (400-1 - 400-N). <EOS>
