Method for controlling the settings of each of a multitude of spotlights, such as light intensity, colour and light beam direction, wherein a remote control is used for sending control signals to a control system comprising a multitude of control units for changing the settings of said multitude of spotlights to desired values, which control units are each associated with one of said multitude of spotlights, wherein said control units can change the settings of their associated spotlights to the desired values, wherein each of said multitude of spotlights is radiating a unique light signal which is superimposed on its light beam, wherein the remote control comprises a sensor for determining said unique light signal, wherein the remote control sends with said control signal a spotlight identifying signal associated with the determined unique light signal as determined at the time that the remote control is used, and wherein the control unit associated with said spotlight identifying signal reacts to the combined spotlight identifying signal and control signal by changing its associated spotlight's settings to the desired values.
Method for controlling the settings of each of a multitude of spotlights, such as light intensity, colour and light beam direction,
System for lighting an object, comprising a multitude of spotlights, a control system comprising a multitude of control units for changing the settings such as light intensity, colour and light beam direction of said multitude of spotlights to desired values, and a remote control for sending control signals to said control units,
Remote control for sending control signals to a multitude of units to be controlled, characterized in that the remote control comprises a sensor for determining a unique light signal, wherein the remote control is arranged to send with said control signals an identifying signal associated with said unique light signal as determined at the time that the remote control is used.
System for lighting an object, comprising a spotlight, a control system comprising a control unit for changing the light beam direction of said spotlight, and a remote control for sending control signals to said control unit, characterized in that said remote control and/or said control system comprise means for determining the absolute or relative movement of the remote control and are arranged to change the beam direction of the associated spotlight such that the spotlight follows said movement.
