Automatic rendering of a lighting scene with a lighting system, particularly the control of the rendering. Rendering of the lighting scene by decomposing a lighting atmosphere to be rendered in elementary light effects, to classify the elementary light effects, and to coordinate the realization of the classified light effects with the lighting system. A light control system for automatically rendering the lighting atmosphere with the lighting system, wherein the light control system is adapted for decomposing the lighting atmosphere to be rendered in elementary light effects, classifying the elementary light effects into sets of light effects, and coordinating the realization of the sets of light effects with the lighting system. An automatic light control system to autonomously determining the lighting configuration settings needed by light modules of the lighting system to realize a desired lighting atmosphere while its elementary lighting effects are harmonically rendered.
