Abstract: A control method for a luminaire with a daylight sensor, comprising: obtaining a first value (?) representative for the angle of the sun with respect to the horizon; if the obtained first value is within a first predetermined range corresponding with a dusk or dawn range, performing the following steps: obtaining a second value (Ev) representative for a light level using the daylight sensor of the luminaire; and controlling the switching on or off of the luminaire when the obtained second value (Ev) fulfils a first predetermined criterion; registering over time, for at least one determined obtained second value, at least one corresponding obtained first value (?); and/or, for at least one determined first value, at least one corresponding obtained second value (Ev); adjusting the first predetermined criterion based on the registrations over time.
Abstract: Method for updating a bootloader of a controller of a light, comprising at least one processor, at least one bootloader storage area, at least one application storage area, and a file storage area, a first bootloader file stored in a first bootloader storage area, said method comprising: transfer-ring to the controller a bootloader updating programme packet provided outside of the controller and which comprises or can generate a bootloader updating file which comprises either a complete up-to-date second bootloader file or programme parts supplementing the first bootloader file to form an up-to-date second bootloader file, storing the bootloader updating file in the file storage area of the controller, and, in the case of a sufficient minimum voltage being available to the controller, writing the first bootloader storage area with the bootloader updating file from the file storage area.
