Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to a method for controlling virtual lamps comprising the steps of providing a central management system for managing light components, wherein a light component comprises one or more light elements and a control module for controlling light elements, placing one or more light components, establishing a communicative link between the one or more light components and the central management system, the method comprising the additional steps of defining at least one virtual lamp in the central management system, wherein at least one light element of a light component is assigned to a virtual lamp, and sending messages from the central management system to control modules of the light components, wherein the messages comprise at least one command for controlling light elements of virtual lamps, wherein the light elements of a light component can be controlled individually or in groups by the control module. The invention also relates to a lighting system.
