A lighting arrangement (1) which is advantageous in particular for the interior lighting of a vehicle or aircraft. The lighting arrangement (1) includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (2a-2e, 3a-3d, 4a-4c) of at least two groups (9, 10, 11), the light emitting diodes being arranged on a surface element (5, 5', 5''), wherein each group (9, 10, 11) includes a light emitting diode or a plurality of light emitting diodes (2a-2e; 3a-3d; 4a-4c) of the same kind and light emitting diodes (2a-2e, 3a-3d, 4a-4c) of different groups (9, 10, 11) are of different kinds. The light emitting diodes (2a-2e, 3a-3d, 4a-4c) are distributed in a two-dimensional geometrical overall pattern (13) on the surface element (5, 5', 5'').
