Official abstract text for this publication.
Various embodiments provide an illumination system. The illumination system includes at least one effect lamp configured to emit radiation, a mobile lamp, which can be arranged on a mobile object and which is configured to emit radiation, and at least one control unit configured to control at least one of the effect lamp or the mobile lamp. The control unit is configured to control the effect lamp as a function of at least one of one or more state information items of the mobile lamp or of the effect lamp or of an object or in such a way that it controls the mobile lamp as a function of one or more state information items of at least one of the mobile lamp or of the effect lamp or of an object.

What is claimed is: 1. An illumination system, comprising: at least one effect lamp configured to emit radiation; at least one mobile lamp arranged on a mobile object; wherein the mobile lamp comprises at least one controllable light source configured to emit radiation; and at least one control unit configured to control at least the mobile lamp and optionally the at least one effect lamp based on one or more state information items of the at least one mobile lamp, the at least one effect lamp, an object, or combinations thereof. 2. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to control the mobile lamps and/or the in such a way that the one or more mobile lamps and the one or more effect lamps are mutually correlated. 3. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one effect lamp comprises a plurality of effect lamps, the at least one mobile lamp comprises a multiplicity of mobile lamps, or combinations thereof. 4. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one effect lamp comprises the control unit, or wherein the at least one mobile lamp comprises the control unit. 5. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is assigned to the one or more effect lamps or the at least one mobile lamp. 6. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one effect lamp, the at least one mobile lamp, an object, or combinations thereof comprises a sensor unit configured to record a respective operating state of the at least one effect lamp, the at least one mobile lamp, the object, combinations thereof. 7. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more state information items comprises at least one of the position of the at least one effect lamp, the at least one mobile lamp, or combinations thereof; an operating state of a controllable light source of the at least one effect lamp, the at least one mobile lamp, or combinations thereof. 8. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one effect lamp is tiltable in at least some of the spatial directions or arranged movably. 9. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one effect lamp comprises at least one controllable light source, a data memory, or combinations thereof. 10. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one mobile lamp further comprises an energy store, a data memory, or combinations thereof. 11. The illumination system of claim 6 , wherein the control unit, sensor unit, or combinations thereof comprises a communication unit. 12. The illumination system of claim 11 , wherein the communication unit is configured to transmit the state information items of the at least one effect lamp, the at least one mobile lamp, an object, or combinations thereof. 13. The illumination system of claim 9 , wherein the data memory contains at least one sequence of state information items of the at least one effect lamp, the at least one mobile lamp, or combinations thereof. 14. The illumination system of claim 5 , wherein the control unit is configured to control an operating state of the at least one effect lamp, the at least one mobile lamp, or combinations thereof. 15. The illumination system of claim 14 , wherein the control unit is configured to activate or deactivate the operating state. 16. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the object is at least one of a person, a textile, a living being, or an inanimate object. 17. The illumination system of claim 11 , wherein the communication unit is configured to communicate wirelessly. 18. A method for controlling an illumination system, the illumination system comprising: at least one effect lamp configured to emit radiation; at least one mobile lamp arranged on a mobile object; wherein the mobile lamp comprises at least one controllable light source configured to emit radiation; and at least one control unit configured to control at least the mobile lamp and optionally the at least one effect lamp based on one or more state information items of the at least one mobile lamp, the at least one effect lamp, an object, or combinations thereof; the method comprising: recording at least one of an operating state of the at least one effect lamp, the at least one mobile lamp, an object, or combinations thereof based on state information obtained from a sensor unit; sending a control signal based on the state information items by the communication unit of the at least one mobile lamp, the at least one effect lamp, an external unit, a function of manual input, or combinations thereof; receiving the control signal by a communication unit of the at least one mobile lamp, the at least one effect lamp, or combinations thereof; and changing the operating state of the at least one mobile lamp, the at least one effect lamp, or combinations thereof. 19. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the object is at least one of a person, a textile, a living being, or combinations thereof. 20. The illumination system of claim 1 , wherein the object is a textile.
