Abstract
A method for controlling an angular distribution of a light-beam emitted by a light-output device () comprising a first set of light-sources () comprising at least one light-source configured to emit light within a first angular range () and second set of light-sources () comprising at least one light-source configured to emit light within a second angular range (), wherein the first angular range is different from the second angular range. The method comprises the steps of: receiving () a dimmer setting (V) from a dimmer (); controlling (), if the dimmer setting is within a first predetermined range, the first set of light-sources to emit light within the first angular range; and controlling (), if the dimmer setting is within a second predetermined range, the second set of light-sources to emit light within the second angular range. Through the method according to the invention the angular distribution of light emitted from a single light-output device may be controlled using a single switch, thereby avoiding the need for having a plurality of switches and/or new wiring which would otherwise be required.
