A lighting unit (130-j) comprising a luminaire unit (120-j), a sensor assembly (140-j) comprising one or more sensor devices for observing respective characteristics in a space illuminated by the luminaire unit (120-j) and a lighting control device (110-j) for controlling light output from the luminaire unit (120-j), wherein the luminaire unit (120-j) comprises one or more first light sources (121-j) arranged to provide lighting at first lighting characteristics and one or more second light sources (122-j) arranged to provide lighting at second lighting characteristics that are different from the first lighting characteristics at least in one aspect and wherein one of the first and second lighting characteristics comprises indirect lighting and the other one comprises direct lighting and wherein the sensor assembly (140-j) comprises at least one occupancy sensor for observing occupancy or non-occupancy of the space and/or at least one light sensor for observing ambient light level in the space, the lighting control device (110-j) comprising: a control means for controlling light output from the luminaire unit (120-j), the control means preprogrammed with a lighting control logic that comprises a first lighting control logic for controlling light output from the one or more first light sources (121-j) and a second lighting control logic for controlling light output from the one or more second light sources (122-j), characterized in that the control means is arranged to control the light output via implementing a preprogrammed lighting control logic that defines pairs of a local triggering condition and a corresponding lighting control action to be carried out in response to an occurrence of the local triggering condition, wherein the preprogrammed lighting control logic defines a manner of controlling light output from the luminaire unit (120-j), the control means arranged to obtain information that indicates the first and second lighting characteristics, a communication means for wireless communication with other lighting control devices that serve to control other luminaire units, the communication means configured to receive status indications from the other lighting control devices, and an adaptation means for adjusting the preprogrammed lighting control logic in accordance with the status indications received by said communication means, wherein the adaptation means is arranged to reprogram at least part of the first lighting control logic and the second lighting control logic differently from each other in dependence of the first and second lighting characteristics based on the received status indications, wherein said reprogramming comprises one of the following: - defining one or more further triggering conditions for one or more predefined lighting control actions, - adjusting one or more parameters that pertain to one or more of the triggering conditions, - disabling one or more of the triggering conditions and/or one or more of the lighting control actions. a control means for controlling light output from the luminaire unit (120-j), the control means preprogrammed with a lighting control logic that comprises a first lighting control logic for controlling light output from the one or more first light sources (121-j) and a second lighting control logic for controlling light output from the one or more second light sources (122-j), characterized in that the control means is arranged to control the light output via implementing a preprogrammed lighting control logic that defines pairs of a local triggering condition and a corresponding lighting control action to be carried out in response to an occurrence of the local triggering condition, wherein the preprogrammed lighting control logic defines a manner of controlling light output from the luminaire unit (120-j), the control means arranged to obtain information that indicates the first and second lighting characteristics, a communication means for wireless communication with other lighting control devices that serve to control other luminaire units, the communication means configured to receive status indications from the other lighting control devices, and an adaptation means for adjusting the preprogrammed lighting control logic in accordance with the status indications received by said communication means, wherein the adaptation means is arranged to reprogram at least part of the first lighting control logic and the second lighting control logic differently from each other in dependence of the first and second lighting characteristics based on the received status indications, wherein said reprogramming comprises one of the following: - defining one or more further triggering conditions for one or more predefined lighting control actions, - adjusting one or more parameters that pertain to one or more of the triggering conditions, - disabling one or more of the triggering conditions and/or one or more of the lighting control actions. - defining one or more further triggering conditions for one or more predefined lighting control actions, - adjusting one or more parameters that pertain to one or more of the triggering conditions, - disabling one or more of the triggering conditions and/or one or more of the lighting control actions.
