Abstract:
1. An adapting lighting system, comprising: a detection unit configured to detect one or more extrinsic variables occurring outside the adaptive lighting system, wherein the detection unit includes one or more of: an evaluation and control unit configured to generate a control signal from the extrinsic variables received from the detection unit, and transmit the control signal to one or more adaptive light sources; and wherein the one or more adaptive light sources is configured to vary an emission property on the basis of the control signal; wherein a plurality of predefined light programs are stored in a memory of the evaluation and control unit, or of the adaptive light for the time-dependent controlling of the emission property of the adaptive light sources; wherein one or more of the predefined light programs is capable of being selected on the basis of the detected extrinsic variable(s) or of the detection time(s) of the detected extrinsic variable(s) by the evaluation and control unit, wherein the selection of the adaptive light sources is transmitted by the control signal; and wherein a plurality of light program selections or program parameter determinations made over a first predefined time period, are stored; wherein respective variations in the detected extrinsic variables are determined over a second predefined time period preferably corresponding to the first predefined time period and stored; wherein it is determined from the stored information whether there is a correlation between the light program selections made or the program parameters determined, and the variations in the detected extrinsic variable(s); and wherein if there is such a correlation, a renewed selection of the light program(s) or determination of the program parameter(s) is made while taking account of this correlation.
