A method of controlling a lighting apparatus including a function configuration switch module and a control module, the method comprising:
- step (a) of outputting a switching function selection signal for configuring access to a wireless mesh network via a function configuration switch provided in the function configuration switch module;
- and
- step (b) of transmitting pre-stored unique identification information of the lighting apparatus, and a signal for bridge setting or releasing according to the switching function selection signal output in step (a) through the control module,
- wherein
- before step (a), a signal is provided for bridge accessing or register information data of the lighting apparatus which is transmitted from the external lighting control device or the sever for configuring a wireless mesh network through the control module, and storing the same in an additional storage module,
- in step (a), a switching function selection signal is output according to a switching operation state of the function configuration switch provided in the function configuration switch module such that a bridge resetting function is further performed, and
- in step (b), a setting initialization is performed by removing the signal for bridge accessing or the register information data of the lighting apparatus which is stored in the storage module according to the switching function selection signal having the bridge resetting function output from the function configuration switch module.
