A method (400) of controlling a plurality of lighting units (112, 114) of a lighting system (100) is disclosed. The method (400) comprises receiving (402) a first input indicative of that a light scene of a first type has been activated, receiving (404) a second input indicative of a dimming command for the plurality of lighting units (112, 114), obtaining (406) data indicative of functions of the plurality of lighting units (112, 114), wherein a first lighting unit (112) has a first function to provide ambient lighting and a second lighting unit (114) has a second function to provide functional lighting, and, if the light scene of the first type is active, controlling (408) the first lighting unit (112) based on the dimming command according to a first dimming profile, wherein the first dimming profile for the first lighting unit (112) is based on the first function, and simultaneously controlling (408) the second lighting unit (114) based on the dimming command according to a second dimming profile differen
