1. A system for controlling a plurality of lighting devices to provide an illumination of an environment according to a dynamic light scene, said system comprising:
at least one input interface;
at least one output interface; and
at least one processor configured to:
determine said dynamic light scene,
determine, from said dynamic light scene, a plurality of light effects to be rendered by one or more of said plurality of lighting devices, said plurality of light effects corresponding to a first moment in said dynamic light scene, said dynamic light scene specifying a temporal sequence of light effects for each of said plurality of lighting devices,
control, via said at least one output interface, said one or more lighting devices to render said plurality of light effects,
receive a user input signal via said at least one input interface,
determine a second moment in said dynamic light scene based on said user input signal,
determine a transition from said first moment to said second moment, said transition being faster than a normal transition from said first moment to said second moment, as specified in said dynamic light scene, wherein said transition is immediate for at least a first subset of said multiple of said plurality of lighting devices and wherein said transition is gradual for at least a second subset of said multiple of said plurality of lighting devices,
determine one or more intermediate light effects to be rendered by said second subset of lighting devices, each of said one or more intermediate light effects corresponding to a moment between said first moment and said second moment, in said dynamic light scene,
determine, from said dynamic light scene, a plurality of further light effects to be rendered by said one or more lighting devices said plurality of further light effects corresponding to said second moment in said dynamic light scene,
control, via said at least one output interface, said second subset of lighting devices to render said one or more intermediate light effects during said transition, and
control, via said at least one output interface, said multiple of said plurality of lighting devices to render said plurality of further light effects after said transition.
