A controller for controlling at least a first lighting device and a second lighting device, the controller comprising a communication unit for communicating with the first and second lighting device, a user interface for receiving user input, a display unit, and a processor for rendering, on the display unit, a graphical representation of a first color spectrum, a first type of graphical representation of the first lighting device in the first color spectrum at a first position in the user interface, a second type of graphical representation of the second lighting device in the first color spectrum at a second position in the user interface, wherein the first type of graphical representation is indicative for the first lighting device being arranged for generating light matching a color of the first color spectrum associated with the first position in the user interface, and the second type of graphical representation is indicative for the second lighting device not being arranged for generating light matching a color of the first color spectrum associated with the second position in the user interface. The processor is further arranged for controlling, upon receiving a first user input for controlling the first lighting device via the user interface, via the communication unit, the color of one or more of the first and second lighting device according to the first user input.

Lighting system

A method of controlling a plurality of lighting devices () is disclosed. The method comprises: grouping the plurality of lighting devices () into a group of lighting devices (), rendering a virtual representation of the group of lighting devices () at a first location in an image on a display (), determining a first color associated with one or more pixels at the first location in the image, obtaining light rendering information from the plurality of lighting devices (), wherein the light rendering information relates to light rendering capabilities of the respective lighting devices (), receiving a user input indicative of a repositioning of the virtual representation from the first location to a second location in the image, determining, based on the light rendering information, if the lighting devices () of the group are able to render a second color associated with one or more pixels at the second location in the image, dividing the group of lighting devices () into a first subgroup comprising at least one lighting device that is unable to render the second color and a second subgroup comprising at least one lighting device that is able to render the second color, rendering a first virtual representation of the first subgroup, and a second virtual representation of the second subgroup in the image on the display (), controlling the at least one lighting device of the first subgroup according to the first color, and controlling the at least one lighting device of the second subgroup according to the second color.
