Method Of Operating A Lighting System

A method for operating a lighting system including at least one lighting control console for controlling the lighting system, wherein the lighting control console includes at least one digital processor and at least one digital memory which are suitable for generating, managing and storing data, multiple color light sources which respectively emit color light signals in at least three different primary colors, wherein the different color light sources can be actuated individually by the lighting control console via separate control channels in order to be able to mix the individual color light signals, using a modifiable mixture ratio, to obtain a mixed light, and a spectrometer with which the wavelength spectrum of a color light signal can be measured, said method comprising:

• a) selecting a color light source and actuating said color light source by transmitting an actuating command via an assigned control channel from the lighting control console to the color light source;
• b) emitting a color light signal with a primary color of the selected color light source;
• c) determining spectral data of the selected color light source by measuring a wavelength spectrum of the colored color light signal using the spectrometer;
• d) storing the measured spectral data for describing the wavelength spectrum of the selected color light source in the digital memory of the lighting control console;
• and
• e) repeating method steps a) to d) for multiple color light sources of the lighting system.
