A lighting element 100, a lighting system and a luminaire are provided. The lighting element 100 is used for obtaining a skylight appearance and has a white light emitting means 104 for emitting white light, a blue light emitting means 106 for emitting blue light and a Fresnel lens 102. The Fresnel lens 102 is arranged to receive light from the white light emitting means 104 and from the blue light emitting means 106. The white light emitting means 104 is arranged in a first relative position with respect to the Fresnel lens 102 to collimate at least a part of the light emitted by the white light emitting means 104 to obtain a collimated directed light beam in a specific direction. The blue light emitting means 106 is arranged in a second relative position with respect to the Fresnel lens 102 to obtain a blue light emission at least outside the collimated directed light beam.
