Abstract: An installation for the control of the level of illumination of premises provided with openings towards the outside and acting on means for blocking the openings or on means for variable artificial illumination associated with controllable operating devices, on the one hand by means of contacts which can be actuated manually and, on the other hand, by an automatic control comprising a logical processing unit depending on a reference value corresponding to a level of illumination established by the user and recorded by the LPU. The photosensitive means measuring the illumination are mounted on a mobile module in which the LPU is also preferably mounted. The reference value is established by means of the contacts and is recorded in the LPU either automatically or by actuating a third contact.

Abstract: Device for automatically controlling the lighting level of premises (A) having available one or more openings (B) to the outside. This device acts on means (V, S, E) of masking the openings and on means of artificial lighting with dimmer (L) as a function of a set point value corresponding to a lighting level established by the user and recorded instantaneously. The masking and lighting means are furthermore controlled in a specified order so as to limit the consumption of energy. In certain implementations, this order is determined as a function of the deviation between a measured temperature and a threshold temperature.
