Patent ID: 8053993

Claim:
A lighting control system for controlling a lighting system, said lighting control system comprising: a lighting control console, wherein digital adjusting commands are generated in the lighting control console and transferred to the lighting devices of the lighting system via data connections, wherein-the lighting control console comprises at least one digital processor and at least one digital memory for generating, managing and storing the digital adjusting commands; and a remote control, wherein operator inputs input at the remote control are transferred to the lighting control console via a data interface, the remote control including at least one acceleration sensor sensing motions of the remote control and generating sensor signals, wherein the sensor signals generated by the motion sensor are evaluated in an evaluation module and transformed into operator inputs controlling the lighting devices of the lighting system, wherein at least one rotation sensor is installed into the remote control, by means of which rotational motions of the remote control about an axis of motion can be detected, a rotational motion of the remote control detected by the at least one rotation sensor is transformed in the evaluation module into an operator input for changing the lighting direction (PAN/TILT) of at least one lighting device of the lighting system.
