Lighting assembly, lamp for use in the lighting assembly, and method of controlling thereof

A method for controlling a lighting assembly comprising a two-wire light string, wherein sockets are placed in parallel at different positions of the two-wire light string, wherein each of the sockets is provided so as to connect a lamp to the two wires and wherein a controller is provided at one end of the two-wire light string, wherein the method comprises of:

• providing a voltage signal over the two wires with the controller;
• superimposing a control signal on the voltage signal of the lighting assembly;
• blocking propagation of the control signal from the two-wire light string to a mains connection of the controller with a filter in the controller;
• starting an initializing cycle in which the following sequence of steps is repeated of:
• repeatedly transmitting an address for a lamp as control signal with the controller;
• fitting the lamp in one of the sockets, the lamp comprises at least one LED source, of which at least one of an intensity and a colour is adjustable on the basis of instructions via control electronics in the lamp, and wherein the control electronics are provided for the purpose, when the lamp has been fitted in a socket, of receiving voltage via the voltage signal and receiving the instructions via the control signal;
• the lamp receiving the address;
• following receipt of the address, the control electronics of the lamp confirming receipt of the address;
• stopping the initializing cycle;
• starting a working cycle wherein the control signal comprises instructions for each initialized lamp.
