Abstract
A luminaire () is disclosed comprising a wireless communication module () for configuring the luminaire; an optical signal detector () for detecting a directional optical signal () comprising source information included in the directional signal by a signal source () of the directional signal; and a controller () for controlling the wireless communication module. The controller is adapted to decode the source information of the coded directional optical signal to extract an identification code and a cryptographic key; to enable the wireless communication module such as to establish a wireless communication link () between the wireless communication module and the signal source if the extracted code matches a reference code; and to encrypt data sent over the wireless communication link () in accordance with said cryptographic key. A method for communicating with such a luminaire, a computer program product for implementing such a method and a mobile communications device comprising the computer program product are also disclosed.
