Method for controlling a
lighting system with a lighting control panel (01), wherein
digital control commands for controlling a lighting effect are generated in the lighting control panel (01), and wherein the control commands are transmitted via data connections to at least one lighting device of the
lighting system, and wherein at least two
control parameters for designing the lighting effect can be set on the lighting device by means of the control commands, and wherein the two
control parameters form the control value axes (10, 11) of a control range level (09), and wherein control value combinations (15) consisting of at least two control values of the two
control parameters are transmitted from the control range level (09) to the lighting device to control the lighting effect, with the following method steps, a) defining at least two node points (12, 13, 17, 19, 24) in the setting range level (09), each node point (12, 13, 17, 19, 24) being defined by a value pair consisting of at least two setting values; b) calculating an
effect function curve (14, 16, 18, 21, 23) which connects all nodes (12, 13, 17, 19, 24) in the adjustment range plane (09); c) selection of control value combinations (15) each
lying on the
effect function curve (14, 16, 18, 21, 23); d) Transmission of the selected control value combinations (15) from the
effect function curve (14, 16, 18, 21, 23) as control commands to the lighting device.
