Method and system for controlling a lighting device

A lighting system for controlling a lighting device, the lighting system comprising:

• a first device comprising a first processor for generating a signal comprising information representative of associations between a plurality of orientations and a plurality of light settings, and a transmitter for transmitting the signal, and
• the lighting device comprising:
• at least one light source,
• a receiver for receiving the signal from the first device,
• an orientation detector for detecting a first orientation of the lighting device, and
• a second processor for selecting a light setting associated with one of the plurality of orientations based on the first orientation, and for controlling the light output of the at least one light source according to the light setting.

A lighting device comprising:

• at least one light source,
• an orientation detector for detecting a current orientation of the lighting device,
• a receiver for receiving input signals from further lighting devices,
• a transmitter for transmitting output signals to further lighting devices, and
• a processor for setting the lighting device to a master mode and/or a slave mode,
• wherein, when the lighting device has been set to the master mode, the processor is arranged for controlling the light output of the at least one light source based on the current orientation, and for generating an output signal comprising information representative of associations between a plurality of orientations and a plurality of light settings based on the current orientation,
• and wherein, when the lighting device has been set to the slave mode, the processor is arranged for selecting, based on the current orientation, a light setting from the input signal, which input signal comprises information representative of associations between a plurality of orientations and a plurality of light settings, and for controlling the light output of the at least one light source according to the selected light setting.
