The invention provides a lighting unit comprising a substantially continuous, pliable surface (10) and a plurality of light sources. The light sources (20) are arranged to generate light beams (24) with respective optical axes (O). Each of the light sources (20) is connected to the pliable surface (10) at respective surface areas (30) of the pliable surface (10), whereby orientations of the respective surface areas (20) and orientations of the respective optical axes (O) are linked. The pliable surface (10) has a profile (Z) that is pliable into different profiles with corresponding different orientations of at least part of the plurality of surface areas (30). The lighting unit can thus easily provide different illumination profiles. In this way, a flexible lighting unit is provided, as the profile of the pliable surface can be defined and, after having been initially defined, also changed in dependence on e.g. user needs.
A lighting unit comprising a closed body having a substantially continuous, pliable surface, the closed body comprises a plurality of individually controllable closed compartments, a hardware controller and a plurality of light sources, wherein:
