A lighting system, comprising:
- a central support structure;
- one or more adjustable arms coupled to the central support structure, wherein the one or more adjustable arms are configured to transition between a retracted position and an extended position;
- a plurality of light sources disposed along the one or more adjustable arms;
- a controller, configured to control actuation and positioning of the one or more adjustable arms;
- one or more sensors configured to provide sensor data indicative of the positioning of the one or more adjustable arms;
- and
- a processing system of the controller configured to activate one or more portions of the plurality of light sources based on the sensor data.
