Abstract

The present invention relates to a lighting assembly (100), comprising at least one light source (402), a heat sink (102) for dissipating heat generated during operation of the at least one light source (402), a lamp foot for connecting the at least one light source to a power supply, a control unit for controlling the at least one light source, and a first antenna arrangement (204) connected to the control unit and being electrically insulated from the heat sink (102) and the lamp foot (104), wherein the heat sink (102) and the lamp foot (104) form a second antenna arrangement (108), and the first antenna arrangement (204) is arranged in close vicinity of the second antenna arrangement (108) for allowing near-field coupling of a radio frequency signal provided to control the at least one light source (402).
