Claim Text:
1. A method of controlling an illumination device, said illumination device comprises a number of light sources arranged in at least a first group of light sources and in a second group of light sources, where said method comprises: receiving an input signal indicative of a number of control parameters, a first effect function, and a second effect function; controlling said first group of light sources and said second group of light sources individually based on said input signal; where said first effect function indicates a first output related to said number of light sources and said second effect function indicates a second output related to said light sources; said first and second effect functions being stored in a memory in said illumination device; wherein the controlling is based on a priority schema stored in a memory in said illumination device; where said priority schema comprises a number of priority rules defining how said first effect function and said second effect function are executed in relation to each other in the case that said first output defines an output parameter which is identical to an output parameter defined by said second output, wherein at least one of said priority rules defines that said first effect function has a higher priority than said second effect function, and wherein the controlling comprises ignoring said output parameter defined by said second output which is identical to said output parameter defined by said first output, wherein at least one of said priority rules defines that said first output is used as an input parameter to said second effect function and wherein the controlling comprises determining said second output based on said first output.
