Abstract
The invention provides a lighting system controller for mitigating stress of at least one animal intended to move from a first space to a second space, wherein said stress is caused by a perceived difference, as perceived by the at least one animal, between the first space and the second space; wherein the lighting system controller is configured to: obtain a first input indicative of an environmental characteristic of the first space; obtain a second input indicative of an environmental characteristic of the second space; determine a difference feature between the environmental characteristic of the first space and the environmental characteristic of the second space; determine a first light setting for illuminating the first space and/or a second light setting for illuminating the second space based on said difference feature to reduce said perceived difference between the environmental characteristic of the first space and the environmental characteristic of the second space; control at least one first light source to illuminate the first space according to the determined first light setting during a first time period, and/or control at least one second light source to illuminate the second space according to the determined second light setting during a second time period; wherein the environmental characteristic is a geometric dimension of a respective space, AND/OR wherein the environmental characteristic is a dynamic state of a respective space.
