Title: Lighting Apparatus and Corresponding System, Method and Computer Program Product 
Abstract:

A lighting apparatus, for example for applications in the show-business or entertainment sector, including: a light-radiation generator, for example a laser generator, configured for projecting a lighting beam towards a lighting space in a certain direction; control circuitry of the light-radiation generator configured for controlling emission of the lighting beam by the light-radiation generator; and processing circuitry configured for calculating a thermal retinal radiance ratio of the light-radiation generator as a function of a distance from the light-radiation generator in the aforesaid direction and for acting on the control circuitry of the light-radiation generator in order to control the lighting beam of the light-radiation generator as a function of the thermal retinal radiance ratio, with the aim of maintaining the aforesaid thermal retinal radiance ratio below unity starting from a certain value of distance from the light-radiation generator in the aforesaid direction.
