Abstract
The present invention provides a multi-channel light sensor comprising a fragmented lens and a camera sensor; wherein the fragmented lens comprises lens elements; and wherein each lens element comprises an own optical axis and is adapted to direct light from a spatial area onto the camera sensor such that the light intensities of different spatial areas are spatially resolved on the camera sensor. Furthermore, a system is provided, which comprises at least one such multi-channel light sensor, at least one lighting device, and a light management device; wherein the light management device is adapted to receive the light intensities of the different spatial areas from the multi-channel light sensor; and wherein the light management device is adapted to control the at least one lighting device on the basis of the light intensities of the different spatial areas.
