Abstract
A lighting system () comprising a central lighting device (), at least one satellite lighting device (), and a controller () for adjusting light settings, is provided. The controller is arranged for transmitting, in response to a user request (), an association request over a first communication link (). The central lighting device is arranged for receiving the association request and re-transmitting the association request over a second communication link by means of coded light (). The satellite lighting device is arranged for transmitting, in response to receiving the association request, its identifier to the central lighting device. The identifier is only transmitted if an association process is enabled. The association process is enabled, in response to a user request, during a limited time period. The central lighting device is further arranged for associating, in response to receiving the identifier, the satellite lighting device with the central lighting device.
