Abstract (en)

[origin: US6404143B1] The invention relates to a starting-up method for a lighting system, which has a plurality of luminaries (L1; L2; L3; L4; L5; L6) which are fitted with lamps (LP1; LP2; LP3; LP4; LP5; LP6; LP7; LP8) and electric equipment for operating these lamps, a control device (St) for actuating the electrical equipment (B1; B2; B3; B4; B5; B6) and control elements (S) for controlling and programming the control device (St). During the starting-up phase of the lighting system, system initialization is carried out, during which each electrical equipment item (B1; B2; B3; B4; B5; B6) is assigned an individual appliance address, which ensures that the equipment (B1; B2; B3; B4; B5; B6) and the luminary (L1; L2; L3; L4; L5; L6) are identified by the control device (St). According to the invention, the individual address which is assigned to the equipment (B1; B2; B3; B4; B5; B6) by the control device (St) is transmitted by a brief interruption in the electrical contact to one of the lamps (LP1; LP2; LP3; LP4; LP5; LP6; LP7; LP8) in this electrical equipment (B1; B2; B3; B4; B5; B6).
