Method and a lighting control device for controlling a plurality of lighting devices

Abstract

A method of controlling a plurality of lighting devices () is disclosed. The method comprises: grouping the plurality of lighting devices () into a group of lighting devices (), rendering a virtual representation of the group of lighting devices () at a first location in an image on a display (), determining a first color associated with one or more pixels at the first location in the image, obtaining light rendering information from the plurality of lighting devices (), wherein the light rendering information relates to light rendering capabilities of the respective lighting devices (), receiving a user input indicative of a repositioning of the virtual representation from the first location to a second location in the image, determining, based on the light rendering information, if the lighting devices () of the group are able to render a second color associated with one or more pixels at the second location in the image, dividing the group of lighting devices () into a first subgroup comprising at least one lighting device that is unable to render the second color and a second subgroup comprising at least one lighting device that is able to render the second color, rendering a first virtual representation of the first subgroup, and a second virtual representation of the second subgroup in the image on the display (), controlling the at least one lighting device of the first subgroup according to the first color, and controlling the at least one lighting device of the second subgroup according to the second color.
