Abstract

The invention provides a lighting system (10) for generating a configurable spotlight effect adapted to direct the attention of an individual from an initial location (34) to a defined second location (36). In particular, the invention comprises a presence detector (14) for detecting motion of an individual (22) at a detection location (28) within a detection area, and for detecting in which direction the individual (22) is moving. A configurable light source (12) is controlled by a controller (18) to create a light effect (30, 32) from a first location (34) in front of the individual (22) based on the direction of the individual (22) toward a defined location (36) so as to thereby draw the attention of the user toward said defined location.

Dependent claims

A lighting system adapted to generate a configurable spotlight effect, comprising:

a configurable light source arrangement for generating the configurable spotlight effect;
a presence detector for detecting motion of an individual at a detection location within a detection area, and for detecting in which direction the individual is moving;
and
a controller adapted to configure the configurable light source arrangement in response to said presence detector, wherein the controller is adapted to determine a first location in front of the individual based on the direction of the individual, and to generate the configurable spotlight effect with the configurable light source arrangement from the first location towards a defined location such as to attract the attention of said individual to the defined location.
