The invention relates to an illumination system (A) having at least one operating device (1) for operating lighting means, having a control device (10) which is connected by means of an analogue or digital light control bus to the operating device and is designed for transmission of analogue or digital control commands via the light control bus, wherein the control device (1) is designed to control the operating devices (1) in terms of brightness and/or color by means of control commands, wherein furthermore the control device is connected to a IPv6 bus system, the control device (10) is designed to receive IPv6 bus commands via the IPv6 bus system and is designed to transmit a colour command or a brightness command as control command, according to the received IPv6 bus commands, to at least one operating device, and the operating device is designed to adapt the control of the lighting means according to the received colour command or brightness command.
A method for controlling a lighting system (A) having a bus line (21), comprising an analog or digital light control bus, to which at least one operating device (1) for operating lighting means and at least one control device (10) are connected, wherein the at least one operating device (1) is being controlled via control commands in terms of the brightness and/or color transmitted on the light control bus, and wherein the control device is connected to an IPv6 bus system, the method comprising the following steps:
A lighting system (A) comprising:
A control device (10) for controlling operating devices (1) for lighting means, which is configured to be connected to the operating devices via a light control bus (21), and is configured to transmit analog or digital control commands via the light control bus (21), wherein the control device (10) is further configured to control the operating devices (1) via control commands in terms of the brightness and color, and the control device is connected to an IPv6 bus system and electrical power is supplied to the control device (10) from the IPv6 bus system and through the control device (10) to the light control bus (21) and the at least one operating device (1);
