Abstract

A lighting system includes a master node, one or more gateway nodes, a first communication bus connecting the one or more gateway nodes to the master node, a plurality of slave nodes such that each slave node is connected to a lighting source and is arranged for conveying data messages, and one or more second communication buses, each connecting one of the gateway nodes with one or more slave nodes of the plurality. The master node is arranged for conveying a unique network address to the one or more gateway nodes via the first communication bus, and the one or more gateway nodes are arranged for conveying a unique network address to the plurality of slave nodes via one of the second communication buses. At least one gateway node is arranged for storing a lighting plan for lighting one or more slave nodes connected to that gateway node.
