A method for controlling a lighting system using a lighting control console generating digital adjusting commands transmitted to lighting devices of the lighting system via data links at least one moving an adjustable lighting device towards different positions, and a preprogrammed lighting program being carried out in several consecutive program steps, an acoustic parameter characterizing the noise sensitivity being assigned to each programs step. The method includes driving the actuator towards the next predefined position of the lighting device as a function of a result of a comparison of the acoustic parameters of the program steps.

The disclosure relates to a lighting control console () for controlling a lighting system, digital adjusting commands being generated in the lighting control console (), which commands can be transmitted to the lighting devices of the lighting system via data links, said lighting control console () comprising at least one digital processor () and at least one digital memory for generating, managing and storing the adjusting commands, and said digital processor () and said digital memory being disposed in a console housing (), and a control panel () having at least one control element, in particular a key button () and/or at least one slide control () and/or at least one rotary control (), being provided at the upper side of the console housing (), which control panel allows users to enter control commands, and said lighting control console () comprising at least one screen (), and said lighting control console () comprising at least one cooling device (), with the aid of which components within the interior () of the console housing () can actively be cooled, wherein the cooling device () comprises at least one recuperator () for indirect heat transfer, said recuperator (), on its primary side (), absorbing waste heat and transferring it to its secondary side () by way of heat conduction without any exchange of material, and said recuperator (), on its secondary side, being configured to have a cooling agent () flow through it or circulate around it in order to transfer the waste heat onto the cooling agent ().

Lighting control console having a cooling device

A method for operating a control system for controlling a lighting system. The control system includes at least two lighting control modules, each lighting control module including at least one digital processor and at least one digital memory for generating, managing and storing lighting programs. Each lighting control module includes a housing in which the digital processor and the digital memory are disposed. Digital adjusting commands are generated in each lighting control module, and are transmittable to the lighting devices of the lighting system via data links. The different lighting control modules are able to exchange data via data lines and interfaces. A system time signal is generated in a lighting control module and is transmitted to all lighting control modules of the control system via the data lines, and the lighting programs in the different lighting control modules are executed using the system time signal.
