A device for interactive and location-dependent control of lighting properties, such as intensity or colour temperature, of at least one LED high bay with a downward directed light beam, in for instance a warehouse or industrial premises. The device includes a control for controlling at least one LED high bay; a presence sensor which emits a presence signal to the control when the presence sensor detects a person or object, such as a forklift truck driver or a forklift truck; and includes an activity sensor which emits an activity signal to the control when an activity, such as for instance a lifting movement of a forklift truck, is detected and the control, when the presence signal and the activity signal are received simultaneously, generates a control signal for the control of the intensity level of the at least one LED high bay.
