Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting system (1) comprising a lighting device (6) having a first USB-PD connector and a power providing unit, which is preferentially a component of a power providing device (4) and which is operable in different operational modes. A second USB-PD connector is electrically connected with the power providing unit and adapted to be connected with the first USB-PD connector for generating a USB-PD connection (5) via which power and optionally also data are receivable by the lighting device. A connection feature value being indicative of a feature of the connection is determined and the operational mode of the power providing unit is controlled depending on the determined connection feature value. This allows for a reaction on the current connection situation. For instance, if the connection feature value indicates a relatively low thermal coupling, the power providing unit may provide less power.

Abstract: A device comprises an image handling module for protecting an image of a scene captured by a camera. The image handling module is configured detect, in association with the image, a watermark signal having been embedded in light illuminating the scene at a respective geographic location. Further, the image handling module is configured to lookup the detected watermark signal in a privacy database, and based thereon to selectively inhibit use of the image.

Abstract: A method of determining a distance from a first luminaire (22) to a second luminaire (22) comprises causing a light source co-located with the second luminaire to emit light directed towards a reflecting surface (A). The method further comprises detecting a level of reflected light from the reflecting surface using a sensor co-located with the first luminaire (22), and accessing a reflectance value determined for the reflecting surface (A). The method further comprises modifying the level of reflected light to take into account the accessed reflectance value, and using the modified measure to provide a measure of a distance between the first and second luminaires.
