Abstract: Disclosed is an artificial window (1) comprising a light box (10) having a rear wall (11) and a planar diffuser arrangement (14) in front of the rear wall (11). The artificial window further comprises at least one first light source (13) extending between the rear wall (11) and the diffuser (14); a window frame (20) in front of the diffuser (14); and drivers (15, 28) arranged for operating the light source (13) and electrically connected to the light source (13). The artificial window also comprises at least one additional light source (25) electrically connected to one of said drivers (28), which additional light source (25) radiates light in substantially one direction and is arranged to radiate light onto a portion of the front side of the diffuser arrangement (14) during operation.

Abstract: A system 1 for controlling ambience of a designated environment comprises input means (3, 4-11) configured to receive at least one ambience input data, processing means (18) configured to process the at least one ambience input data in conjunction with a desired ambience profile for the designated environment, thereby generating at least one ambience output signal, and means (20) for providing said at least one ambience output signal to an ambience output unit, the unit being capable of generating a desired ambience corresponding to said ambience profile.

Abstract: An area light source (1) comprising a first light source (2) emitting light (L2) in a first wavelength range, and a light-transparent carrier screen (4) coated with a phosphorous layer (5) is disclosed. The area light source is characterised in that it comprises at least one additional light source (3) projecting light L3 in a second wavelength range, differing from said first wavelength range onto the carrier screen (4), said projected light L3 being capable of exciting the phosphorous layer (5).
