Abstract

Method for controlling the light distribution of a traffic route luminaire (1) in a network of luminaires, which is preferably also organized as a mesh network. The luminaire has a luminaire head having a settable light module and a controller, the light distribution of the luminaire being variable. The luminaire communicates luminaire data to at least one server, the luminaire data being luminaire-specific and including the installation location of the luminaire. The method comprises the steps of: —automatically allocating a light distribution to the luminaire (1) in accordance with the communicated luminaire data; —automatically setting the light module on the basis of the allocated light distribution; and determining, by said at least one server, a light distribution class of the traffic route luminaire on the basis of a traffic route topology (2,3,4,5,6).
