Abstract
A method comprising: providing a light source in the form of a luminaire or lamp operable to emit light into an environment, the light source being activated from a time at which the light source is first deployed into said environment to enable the light to be controlled via a first communication channel, but having a capability for the light to be controlled via a second communication channel being electronically deactivated at the time of deployment; then after the time of deployment of the light source into the environment, receiving a request to upgrade the light source; and in response to this request, sending activation data to the light source or a user of the light source, thereby enabling the capability for the light to be controlled via the second communication channel to be electronically activated.
