A lighting system for illuminating an agribultural environment

A method of illuminating an agricultural environment, wherein the method comprises:

• a first lighting unit illuminating the agricultural environment with a first light having a first light characteristic;
• a second lighting unit projecting at least one dynamic light beam, wherein each dynamic light beam has a beam divergence of less than 15 degrees and creates a moving light spot within the agricultural environment;
• a controller (i) obtaining a signal indicative of the first light characteristic of the first light, (ii) determining a second light characteristic substantially different from the first light characteristic in response to the signal, (iii) controlling the second lighting unit to project the at least one dynamic beam with said second light characteristic;
• wherein the first light characteristic comprises a first light spectrum;
• wherein the second light characteristic comprises a second light spectrum;
• wherein a wavelength of at least one a dominant peak of the second light spectrum is at least 30 nm different from a wavelength of at least one dominant peak of the first light spectrum.

A luminaire for projecting at least one light beam within an agricultural environment that is being illuminated with a first light having a first light characteristic;

• wherein the luminaire comprises a luminaire housing, a lighting unit, and a controller;
• wherein the luminaire housing comprises the lighting unit and the controller;
• wherein the lighting unit is configured to project at least one dynamic light beam, wherein each dynamic light beam has a beam divergence of less than 15 degrees and creates a moving light spot within the agricultural environment;
• wherein the controller is configured to:
• (i) obtain a signal indicative of the first light characteristic of the first light, (ii) determine a second light characteristic substantially different from the first light characteristic in response to the signal;
• (iii) control the lighting unit to project the at least one dynamic light beam with said second light characteristic;
• wherein the first light characteristic comprises a first light spectrum;
• wherein the second light characteristic comprises a second light spectrum;
• wherein a wavelength of at least one a dominant peak of the second light spectrum is at least 30 nm different from a wavelength of at least one dominant peak of the first light spectrum.
