1. A method of performing management in a luminaire network comprising a plurality of luminaires and a control system, each luminaire of said plurality of luminaires being configured to operate in accordance with at least one profile which defines one or more settings of the luminaire in function of time, said method comprising performing by said control system the steps of:
retrieving a position of one or more luminaires of the plurality of luminaires from a luminaire network database, said position being preferably defined by geo-localization coordinates, more preferably by GPS coordinates;
based on the retrieved position, selecting an infrastructure use and/or feature from an infrastructure database, said infrastructure database storing a plurality of different infrastructure uses and/or features,
wherein the infrastructure comprises: a public building, a public area, a pathway element, or a pathway zone;
determining, for each of the one or more luminaires, at least one profile based on the selected infrastructure use and/or feature, said determining being performed preferably periodically, more preferably once a day, even more preferably once an hour, most preferably once a minute; and
optionally, storing, for each of the one or more luminaires, the at least one profile in a memory of the corresponding luminaire.
