Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for adaptively controlling lighting within a passenger suite of an aircraft cabin include a light sensor disposed on or within a surface of a static element of the passenger suite that detects illumination characteristics of external lighting system(s) within the aircraft cabin. The illumination characteristics may include lighting color and intensity. A controller may cause illumination of one or more illumination devices disposed near surfaces of the passenger suite such that the illumination of the surfaces matches or complements the sensed illumination characteristics of the external lighting system(s) independent of any communications received from the external lighting systems, thereby allowing additional ambient lighting systems to be added to the aircraft cabin without having to be integrated with other aircraft lighting systems.
