Abstract
A lighting system comprising light sources for illuminating an area and a control unit adapted to control the light sources. The control unit has a user interface allowing a user to select a light scene. The user interface has a screen for displaying information to the user. The control unit is adapted to control the user interface to display selected content on the screen, which content is selected such that light emitted from the screen during display of the content contributes to the selected light scene. When the screen is used in this way, i.e. as a part of the light scene created by the lighting system, the screen enhances the light scene and the risk of the screen interfering with the light scene is reduced, resulting in an improved user experience.
