1. A lighting system for emitting light, the system comprising a first and a second lighting module as well as a plug for connecting the two lighting modules to each other, each lighting module comprises:
a housing, the housing having a first side and a second side, opposite to the first side, such that the second side of the first lighting module is connected to the first side of the second lighting module when the two lighting modules are connected via the plug;
at least one Light Emitting Diode, LED, for emitting the light;
a controller arranged for wirelessly communicating with the other one of the two lighting modules via a magnetic field antenna;
the magnetic field antenna;
wherein the first lighting module has the magnetic field antenna positioned in the housing close to, or adjacent to, its second side and wherein the second lighting module has the magnetic field antenna positioned in the housing close to, or adjacent to, its first side such that when the two lighting modules are connected using the plug, the magnetic field antennas of the first and second module are aligned such that the magnetic field antenna of the first lighting module is able to communicate with the magnetic field antenna of the second lighting module.
