Abstract: A lighting system comprises a plurality of switchable light generators the light output from which can be switched ‘on’ or ‘off’. The system further comprises a camera to which light from a scene illuminated by a designated light generator is directed, a scene record inhibitor and a sync. signal generator means which is arranged to synchronise switch operation of the light generators with operation of the record inhibitor. In this manner the camera records light from the scene only when the scene is illuminated by the designated light generator.
