Abstract
A controlling device (1) for controlling lighting parameters is connected to a number of lamps (70). The controlling device (1) comprises a controlling member (20), which is placed on a contact surface (11) by a user. Lighting parameters of each lamp (70) are determined on the basis of the position of the controlling member (20) on the contact surface (11), so that the user is able to control the lighting parameters simply by controlling said position. The controlling device (1) comprises sensing means for sensing the position of the controlling member (20) on the contact surface (11) with respect to a reference system. Information regarding said position is contained by an input signal which is transmitted from the sensing means to a processor for generating an output signal on the basis of the input signal and an algorithm laid down in said processor.
