In at least one embodiment of the method, the latter is set up to locate light sources (1) and has the following steps: a list (L) of light sources (1) in an arrangement (10) is created, each of the light sources (1) having a unique digital identifier (14) with a bit sequence, the light sources (1) are simultaneously driven, with the result that each of the light sources (1) emits a light sequence (11) according to the bit sequence of the identifier (14) associated with the respective light source (1), and an image sequence of the arrangement (10) is recorded using an image recording device (6) during the driving operation, a sequence of images in the image sequence being matched to a sequence of light states (M) in the light sequence (11) in a targeted manner.
