Claims30
A method of operating a lighting arrangement comprising at least one of lighting fixtures and lighting fixture arrays composed of lighting fixtures, wherein the lighting fixtures and lighting fixture arrays of the lighting arrangement are controlled using an extractable hardware user interface, and wherein a lighting fixture array comprises a configurable array topology describing the structural arrangement of the lighting fixtures within the lighting fixture array.
A method of operating a lighting arrangement comprising at least one of lighting fixtures and lighting fixture arrays composed of lighting fixtures, wherein the lighting fixtures and lighting fixture arrays of the lighting arrangement are controlled using an extractable hardware user interface, wherein a number M of lighting fixtures are serially interconnected via cables to form a composite lighting fixture array of the lighting arrangement, wherein the lighting fixtures serially interconnected via the cables are configured by a user using the extractable hardware user interface as lighting fixtures to be operated as a single lighting device in a recognized or assigned connection order or as lighting fixtures to be operated independently, and wherein a connection order of the serially interconnected lighting fixtures is recognized automatically depending on at least one of a detected cable length of the connecting cables and an internal wiring of the connecting cables.
A method of operating a lighting arrangement comprising at least one of lighting fixtures and lighting fixture arrays composed of lighting fixtures, wherein the lighting fixtures and lighting fixture arrays of the lighting arrangement are controlled using an extractable hardware user interface, wherein a number M of lighting fixtures are serially interconnected via cables to form a composite lighting fixture array of the lighting arrangement, and wherein the cables interconnecting the lighting fixtures are color-coded.
