Abstract
In a lighting system (SLS), a radar arrangement (RU) transmits a signal (CW). The radar arrangement (RU) detects a spectral power distribution of a received signal (RF) susceptible of comprising a reflection of the signal that has been transmitted. Lighting is controlled as a function of the spectral power distribution that has been detected.
