1. A control unit for controlling luminance in a space, said control unit being configured to:
- estimate a trajectory of a target relative to said space, wherein said estimated trajectory runs from a first location with a first luminance level to a second location with a second luminance level, andcontrol said luminance in said space based on the estimated trajectory, on said first luminance level and said second luminance level, and on a function rate corresponding to an adaptability of the target eye to changes in luminance such that said luminance in said space changes gradually from said first luminance level towards said second luminance level along said trajectory.

15. A method for controlling luminance in a space, comprising the steps of:
-
estimating a trajectory of a target relative to a space, wherein said estimated trajectory runs from a first location with a first luminance level to a second location with a second luminance level, and controlling said luminance in said space based on the estimated trajectory, said first luminance level and said second luminance level, and on a function rate corresponding to an adaptability of the target eye to changes in luminance, such that said luminance in said space changes gradually from said first luminance level towards said second luminance level along said trajectory.
