Lighting system and remote control method therefor

A lighting system comprising:

• a plurality of light modules for emitting either modulated light comprising light module identification codes or non-modulated light, the light modules being switchable between an operational mode in which the light emitted by the light modules is non-modulated and a control mode in which the light emitted by the light modules is modulated;
• and
• a remote control device for switching at least one of the plurality of light modules between the operational mode and the control mode.

A method to control a lighting system comprising a plurality of light modules capable of emitting either modulated light comprising light module identification codes or non-modulated light, the method comprising the steps:

• providing a remote control device,
• checking whether the remote control device is operated by a user, and, if so,
• switching light modules from an operational mode, in which the light emitted by the light modules is non-modulated, to a control mode, in which the light emitted by the light modules is modulated.
