A flexible light therapy device, a bandage and a plaster for providing a therapeutic effect to a treatment target area () of a living being are provided. The flexible light therapy device comprises a light source () for emitting light (), a light transmitting element () and a heat management means (). The light transmitting element () is of a flexible light transmitting material and is optically coupled to the light source (). The light transmitting element () comprises a light exit window () to emit the light () towards the treatment target area (). The heat management means () is thermally coupled to the treatment target area () and distributes heat and controls the distribution of heat across the treatment target area (). Part of the distributed heat may originate from the light source ().

A lighting system for creating a biological effect induced by light. The biological effect is a different effect than vision. The lighting system comprises a light source () to generate light with a varying spectrum, and a driver () to drive the light source () to successively in time: (i) generate a first spectrum (S) during a first period in time (T), (ii) change the first spectrum (S) into a second spectrum (S) during a second period in time (T), wherein the second spectrum (S) has the biological effect, and (iii) maintain the second spectrum (S) during a third period in time (T). The duration of the second period in time (T) is selected in a range from 5 seconds to 30 minutes. The first spectrum (S) may not have the biological effect or may have the biological effect to a smaller extent than the second spectrum (S).
