Abstract
A method of operating a lighting grid having lighting units the method including receiving an input signal from a sensor or a user interface by a first lighting unit, determining a control signal for controlling an LED driver and/or LED assembly of the first lighting unit based on the input signal, transmitting an output signal to a second lighting unit, the output signal being based on the input signal and enabling an identification of the first lighting unit, the sensor or the user interface, receiving the transmitted output signal from the first lighting unit by the second lighting unit, establishing an identification, based upon the received output signal, of the first lighting unit, the sensor or the user interface, and determining a further control signal for controlling an LED driver and/or LED assembly of the second lighting unit based on the output signal and the identification.
