Abstract

The invention relates to a method for installing an executable computer program in an illumination system having a plurality of illumination devices which are controlled by means of a particular computer unit and have a lighting device and a transmitting device arranged in or directly on the lighting device, wherein the transmitting device wirelessly emits a signal having an item of identification information specific to the transmitting device, in which: data corresponding to the computer program to be installed are provided by a data source, the data are transmitted to the illumination devices and the computer program is automatically installed in the respective computer units of the illumination devices on the basis of the transmitted data, wherein a first of the illumination devices receives the data via a communication link, and in order to install the computer program in at least one second of the illumination devices, the first of the illumination devices transmits the data to the at least one second of the illumination devices.
