A method for controlling an angular distribution of a light-beam emitted by a light-output device (102, 200) comprising a first set of light-sources (105, 211) comprising at least one light-source configured to emit light within a first angular range (221, 231, 241) and second set of light-sources (107, 210) comprising at least one light-source configured to emit light within a second angular range (222, 232, 242), wherein the first angular range is different from the second angular range. The method comprises the steps of: receiving (401) a dimmer setting (VDS) from a dimmer (101); controlling (404), 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 (405), 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.

An illumination system has linear array of light emitters (R, G, B, A, W) associated with it least one linear array of outcoupling means (O1, O2, O3, . . . ) for coupling light out of the illumination system. Each linear array of outcoupling means is arranged parallel to the linear array of light emitters. For each linear array of outcoupling means, a configuration of the outcoupling means and a configuration of the light emitters fulfill the requirement: NCU×NLC=NOU×NLO, wherein NCU is the number of clusters (C1, C2, C3, . . . ) per unit (U1, . . . ), NLC is the number of light emitters in each of the clusters, NOU is the number of outcoupling means per unit, NLO is the number of light emitters per outcoupling means. A “cluster” is the smallest repetitive collection of light emitters forming the linear array of light emitters. A “unit” is the smallest number of adjacent clusters repetitive with respect to the outcoupling means and with respect to the light emitters.
