1. An illumination system, comprising:
an illumination module;
a control module, for driving the illumination module to emit a light;
a first light detection module, for detecting the light produced by the illumination module to produce a first detection result; and
a second light detection module, for detecting an ambient light to produce a second detection result;
wherein, the control module calculates a reference spectral distribution at least based on the second detection result, and compares the first detection result with the reference spectral distribution, and the control module drives the illumination module to emit a light adaptively adjusted in color temperature for matching with the reference spectral distribution based on a comparison result.
