SUN-SKY IMITATING LIGHTING SYSTEM WITH ENLARGED PERCEIVED WINDOW AREA

A lighting system (1) for in particular forming a room edge (12) of a room comprises an enlarged sky-perception providing unit (2) with a light transparent panel (3) and a mirror unit (13) with a reflective face (13A) forming an inner edge (14). The lighting system further comprises a light source (41) configured to emit a direct light beam (43) through the light transparent panel (3) onto the mirror unit (13) such that the transmitted portion (9) of the light beam is reflected completely by the reflective face (13A), thereby creating a reflected direct light beam (17) in particular for imitating a sun beam.
