Patent Images
1. An illumination system for an interior of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect an environmental lighting situation, wherein the environmental lighting situation is based on visually perceptible information associated with an environment exterior to the motor vehicle;
an illumination device configured to illuminate the motor vehicle interior;
a controller, which is subordinate to the sensor and the illumination device, and which is configured to adjust an ambient interior lighting situation depending on the detected environmental lighting situation, andwherein the controller is configured to adjust the interior lighting situation temporally offset to the detected environmental lighting situation.
