Abstract

Lamps forming a lighting show are grouped into maps. Each map includes an association between the lamps and specific sets. Lamps are in particular sets in particular maps and can be in different sets in other maps. Each set can be associated with a parameter for that set. One such parameter is the color for the set of lamps. Both maps and parameters can be changed by a single key press. This allows single key press parameter cycling.
