Abstract: The present invention relates to a control device adapted to control properties of light emitted from a light source. The control device may comprise a touch-sensitive user interface adapted to visually indicate a range of available values representing at least one of the properties and to enable a user to control the represented property on the basis of a location touched on the touch-sensitive user interface. The controlled property may be adjusted by means of a communication unit adapted to communicate to the light source control signals corresponding to user input. The user interface may comprise at least one discontinuity-indicating element adapted to visually indicate a step discontinuity in the range of available values representing the at least one property.

Abstract: A method of providing a user interface for controlling a system (1;27) includes observing a presence of a body or body part of a user in a certain environment of a device (6,14-17;30). At least a perceptible part (28,34) of the user interface is made available to the user in association with a particular functionality for interacting with the system (1;27) controlled by the user interface in dependence on a rate of displacement of the body or body part of the user observed in the certain environment.

Abstract: The invention provides a lighting device comprising a housing. The housing comprises visible-light sources (10) arranged to generate visible light (11), UV-lightsources (12) arranged to generate UV-light (13), a light exit window (14) positioned to allow transmission of the visible light (11), a photochromic layer (16) positioned upstream of the light exit window (14) and downstream of the visible light sources (10), the photochromic layer (16) comprising at least one area with UV-photochromic material (15), the UV-photochromic material (15) having a first color state and a second color state, and a control unit (40) connected to the UV-light sources (12) for controlling the UV-light sources (12), wherein the UV-light sources are arranged to illuminate the photochromic layer (16). The invention makes it possible to obtain dynamic light effects.
