Controller for controlling a plurality of lighting units of a lighting system and a method thereof

A controller circuit for controlling a plurality of lighting units of a lighting system, the controller circuit comprising:

• a communication module configured to receive a first input indicative of that a light scene of a first type has been activated, and receive a second input indicative of a dimming command for the plurality of lighting units,
• a processor configured to obtain, from a memory, data indicative of functions of the plurality of lighting units, wherein a first lighting unit has a first function to provide ambient lighting and a second lighting unit has a second function to provide functional lighting, and, if the light scene of the first type is still active, control the first lighting unit based on the dimming command according to a first dimming profile, wherein the first dimming profile for the first lighting unit is based on the first function and simultaneously control the second lighting unit based on the diming command according to a second dimming profile different from the first profile, wherein the second dimming profile for the second lighting unit is based on the second function,
• wherein the processor is further configured to, if a different light scene of a second type is active, control the first and second lighting units simultaneously based on the dimming command according to a third dimming profile.
