Abstract
A method of controlling a first lighting unit of a group of lighting units is disclosed. The method comprised receiving a first signal communicated between a portable device and the first lighting unit, determining a first signal strength of the received first signal, setting, if the first signal strength exceeds a threshold, the portable device to a first control mode wherein only the first lighting unit of the group of lighting units is controlled by the portable device, and setting, if the first signal strength does not exceed the threshold, the portable device to a second control mode wherein the lighting units of the group are controlled by the portable device.
