Abstract

Each light source to be controlled by a lighting control system is associated with a light identifier, and the light sources can be installed in any desired manner without regard to which light identifier is mapped to which light source by the system. After installation, a user provides inputs for mapping each light to its appropriate identifier. Accordingly, the installation process is simplified, and errors that otherwise could arise by an installer incorrectly installing light sources relative to the light identifier mappings used by the system are prevented.
