METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN INTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM IN A VEHICLE AND INTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of controlling an interior lighting (25) in a vehicle (18), comprising a plurality of separately drivable lamps (26a-26g), wherein a motion light pattern, in particular a wave pattern, is generated as a function of vehicle operating data by separately driving the individual lamps (26a-26g), all of the lamps (26a-26g) being driven with an identical or similar light pattern, and the lamps (26a-26g) being driven with the light pattern offset in time, wherein the time offset with which the lamps (26a-26g) are driven is dependent on the driving speed of the vehicle.

Abstract
In a method of controlling an interior lighting (25) in a vehicle (18), having a plurality of separately drivable lamps (26a-26g), provision is made that a motion light pattern, in particular a wave light pattern, is generated as a function of vehicle operating data by separately driving the individual lamps (26a-26g), all of the lamps (26a-28g) being driven with an identical or similar light pattern, and the lamps (26a-26g) being driven with the light pattern offset in time. The time offset with which the lamps (26a-26g) are driven is dependent on the driving speed of the vehicle.
