Abstract
A lighting system () for illuminating an environment and a method of starting the installation of a program on a programmable controller of a lighting module are provided. The lighting system () comprises a particular lighting module (), a neighboring lighting module () and an installation decision generator (). A portion of the environment is illuminated by both lighting modules (). Both lighting modules () have a programmable controller () and may receive a program via a network interface for installation on the programmable controller (). The installation decision generator () decides whether the installation of the program on the particular lighting module () may start, based on operational information as to whether the light emission capabilities of the neighboring lighting module () enable illumination of the portion of the environment to be sufficiently close to a desired illumination of the portion.
