Abstract
According to the present disclosure, lighting sources, having operating parameter(s) which is controllable in lighting sequence(s) as a function of a time code data set coupled with the sequence, are controlled: by providing a repository of operating data files for the lighting sources coupled with lighting sources, with each data file including time code data set(s) for lighting sequence(s) for one of the lighting sources, by detecting ambient lighting level signal(s) at the ambient where the lighting sources are located, by retrieving in the data repository operating data file(s) coupled with a selected one of the lighting sources, and by operating the selected lighting source by controlling the operating parameter(s) as a function of the operating data included in the operating data file retrieved and as a function of the ambient lighting level signal.
