1. A control device for controlling a lighting device to illuminate at least one animal in a space, wherein the control device is configured to:
obtain prediction data indicative of a value of an environmental condition in said space during a future time period;
determine said value of the environmental condition based on the prediction data;
determine a prediction of heat stress of the at least one animal in said space during the future time period if said value of the environmental condition falls within a predefined limit for heat stress; and
control, upon determining said prediction of heat stress, a lighting device to illuminate the at least one animal in said space with a lighting characteristic at least partly before said future time period, wherein the lighting characteristic is configured to pre-condition the at least one animal to the heat stress;
wherein the lighting characteristic comprises red light having a peak wavelength between 600 to 780 nanometers.
