1. A lighting control system comprising:
- lighting devices; and
a lighting control apparatus to transmit a registration request signal to the lighting devices, receive a response message corresponding to the registration request signal from at least one of the lighting devices, and register at least one of the lighting devices according to received signal strengths of the response message,wherein the lighting control apparatus is configured to;
register one of the lighting devices as a reference lighting device; and
register at least one of the other lighting devices located around the reference lighting device by controlling the reference lighting device,wherein the reference lighting device is configured to;
transmit a peripheral search signal to the other lighting devices according to a command of the lighting control apparatus;
receive a peripheral response message corresponding to the peripheral search signal from at least one of the other lighting devices; and
transmit the peripheral response message to the lighting control apparatus.
