1. A lighting system for an interior space comprising:
- at least one light sensor for determining the exterior lighting colour;
at least one light sensor for the interior space for determining the interior lighting level and colour;
a lighting unit having adjustable colour and intensity; and
a controller for controlling the lighting unit,wherein the controller is adapted to;
adjust the colour and intensity of the lighting unit based on the light sensor outputs thereby to obtain a colour match zone where the interior space lighting has a colour temperature dependent on the exterior lighting, wherein the adjusting takes place during the course the day.
