Abstract
The invention relates to a lighting control system for routing of messages between a number of lighting nodes forming a wireless multi-node network and method therefor. The lighting control system comprising a number of lighting nodes forming a wireless multi-node network, each lighting node comprising a light source; a controller connected to the light source; and a wireless communication means connected to the controller for communication with other lighting nodes in the network, wherein the system is arranged to select for each first lighting node at least one second lighting node to which the wireless communication means of said first lighting node is to establish a routing connection on the basis of information about the geographical position of said first lighting node and the geographical position of said second lighting node.
