1. A lighting system comprising:
a lighting device,
a presence sensor, and
a lighting controller, the lighting controller being arranged for controlling the lighting device in response to a presence detected within a detection radius of the presence sensor, and the lighting controller configured to:
determine a current lighting status of the lighting device indicative of whether the lighting device provides a lighting characteristic,
determine a current presence detection status indicative of whether the presence is detected within an initial detection radius of the presence sensor,
adapt the initial detection radius of the presence sensor to an adapted detection radius in which the presence is to be detected based on the current lighting status of the lighting device and the current presence detection status,
determine a first condition if:
(i) the current lighting status of the lighting device is indicative of the lighting device providing the lighting characteristic, and
(ii) the current presence detection status is indicative of the presence being detected within the initial detection radius of the presence sensor, and
adapt the initial detection radius of the presence sensor to a first adapted detection radius in which the presence is to be detected upon determining said first condition, wherein the first adapted detection radius is larger than the initial detection radius.
