Determining a non-linear mapping of light settings to light sources of a light string

A lighting system comprising a light string and a controller for controlling said light string, said controller comprising at least one receiver at least one transmitter and at least one processor and said light string comprising a plurality of individually controllable light sources at least one further receiver and at least one further processor

• said at least one processor of said controller being configured to transmit, via said at least one transmitter to said light string, a command to render a light effect on said light string, said command specifying one or more colors and/or one or more light intensities, and wherein said light effect comprises a temporal light setting distribution and
• said at least one further processor of said light string being configured to receive said command via said at least one further receiver, determine, in response to said command, a first mapping of light settings to said light sources based on said one or more colors and/or said one or more light intensities, and control said light sources to render said light settings according to said first mapping,
• wherein said at least one processor or said at least one further processor is configured to receive a first input signal, said first input signal specifying a first spatial distribution, said first spatial distribution indicating first locations of said light sources with respect to an object, and said at least one further processor is configured to determine said first mapping further based on said first spatial distribution such that a light effect transition speed per light source or a light effect rendering probability per light source depends on said first spatial distribution.
