Abstract
Disclosed is an illumination system (100) and method (600) for generating a predefined illumination pattern on an area (10). The system comprises a plurality of luminaires (110), each luminaire having an orientation adjustment mechanism and being arranged to generate a contribution (210, 210′) to said illumination pattern on a part of said area; a plurality of cameras (120), each camera associated with one of said luminaires for capturing an image of an illuminated part of said area including the contribution generated by said associated luminaire; and a control unit (130) adapted to facilitate the generation of the predefined illumination pattern by evaluating one of said images to determine a deviation from the predefined illumination pattern for the illuminated part of said area captured in said image; selecting a luminaire from said plurality of luminaires from information contained in a light plan and generating an orientation adjustment signal for the selected luminaire based on the determined deviation.
