Voice communication between lamp and remote device plus lighting control via remote device

A remote controller for communicating with a lighting device, the remote controller comprising:

• a communication unit configured to communicatively connect with the lighting device;
• a speaker of the remote controller configured to output a first audio;
• and
• a microphone of the remote controller configured to acquire a second audio, and
• the lighting device comprises a communication unit operable to communicatively connect with the remote controller via a first wireless network and operable to communicatively connect directly with a mobile device via a second wireless network;
• and a controller coupled to the communication unit and a component of the lighting device, and configured to control a component of the lighting device based on a signal received by the communication unit from the remote controller and the mobile device,
• wherein the component of the lighting device comprises at least one of a lighting unit, a microphone of the lighting device, and a speaker of the lighting device,
• wherein the communication unit and the controller of the lighting device is part of a control device housed within the lighting device along with the lighting unit, the microphone of the lighting device, and the speaker of the lighting device,
• wherein the first wireless network and the second wireless network operate at different bandwidths,
• wherein the communication unit of the remote controller is configured to transmit the second audio to the lighting device, and
• wherein the first audio is generated by the microphone of the lighting device.
