Abstract
A method for bonding a lighting device to a first lighting system, in which the first system comprises a master controller, which is remote from the lighting device and which may control a slave controller of the lighting device if the slave controller has stored therein an identification (ID) of the system. Upon powering up, if the slave controller contains such an ID, it tries to communicate with a master controller of the system. If the slave controller does not succeed in establishing such a communication it enters a state in which it can change it settings, in particular clearing said ID, upon receiving, during a time window with reduced communication security level, a message for allowing such changing of its settings.
