Abstract:
Method for the operation and the expansion of a network of lights, each light in the network including a control module which is assigned to a group, each control module being in communication with a group controller as well as control modules in the same group. The network can be expanded by installing ( 19 ) new lights with their associated control modules, and each new control module scans ( 20 ) its environment and transmits environmental information to a central server where the environmental information is analysed and the new control modules are allocated ( 21 ) into groups. After allocation to a group in which control modules may be moved from one group to another or a new group is formed, the new control modules are available for normal operation. This process is repeated for each new light and associated control module.

Claim (Index 4):
Method for operating a network of lights including the steps of:\n providing a network of lights comprising a plurality of lights, each light having a control module associated therewith, each control module comprising: one long-distance communication module, one short-distance communication module, a geocoordinate module, a controller, each control module being operable for providing a control output for controlling a driver of an associated light,\n providing at least one server reachable via the long-distance communication module, \n dividing the control modules into multiple control module groups based on at least one of: environmental, light and control module information provided by the control modules, \n selecting one of the control modules of each group as a group controller, with which all other control modules of this group can communicate via their short-distance communication modules, \n forming a short-distance network with the control modules within the group, via their corresponding short-distance communication modules, \n transmitting, during normal network operation, from the group controller to the server at least one of its own environmental, light and control module information and the corresponding information coming from the other control modules
