The present invention relates to an illumination device comprising a number of light sources arranged in a first group and in a second and controlling means adapted to control the first group and said second group individually. The controlling means is further adapted to control of light sources based on an input signal indicative of at least a first effect function and a second effect function. The first effect function generates a first output related to the light sources and said second effect function generates a second output light sources. The first and second effect functions are stored in a memory in the in the illumination device. The that controlling means is adapted to control the first and the second group of light sources based on a priority schema and/or synchronizing schema both stored in a memory in the illumination device. The priority schema comprising a number of priority rules defining how the first effect function and the second effect must be executed in relation to each other, and the synchronizing schema comprises a number of synchronizing functions defining how the controlling means must execute the first effect function and the second effect function in relation to time and in relation to each other. The present invention relates also to a method of controlling such illumination device.
