Interactive lighting control system (and method) for controlling and creating of light effects such as the tuning of light scenes based on location indication received from an input device. A basic idea of the claimed system is to provide an interactive lighting control by combining a location indication with a light effect driven approach in lighting control in order to improve the creating of light effects such as the tuning of light scenes especially with large and diverse lighting infrastructures. The claimed interactive lighting control system (10) comprises—an interface (12) for receiving data (14) indicating a real location (16) in a real environment from an input device (18), which is adapted to detect a location in the real environment by pointing to the location, and for receiving data related to a light effect (32) desired at the real location, and—a light effect controller (20) for mapping the real location to a virtual location of a virtual view of the real environment and determining light effects available at the virtual location.
