  • Patent number: 8686663
    Abstract: A lighting system according to embodiments includes a first light source, a second light source, a first lighting circuit, a second lighting circuit, a signal input unit, and a control circuit. The first light source has a predetermined color temperature. The second light source has a color temperature which is different from that of the first light source. The first lighting circuit lights the first light source. The second lighting circuit lights the second light source. The signal input unit receives an external signal. The control circuit includes a first light source lighting control cycle which performs a predetermined lighting control of the first light source, and a second light source lighting control cycle which performs a predetermined lighting control of the second light source, controls the first and second lighting circuits so as to start the lighting control.

  • Publication number: 20130082623
    Abstract: A lighting system according to an embodiment includes a light source unit and a control circuit. The light source unit includes first, second, and third light sources. The control circuit controls an optical output of the light source unit with a predetermined color temperature by controlling the respective optical outputs of the first, second, and third light sources, and sets the optical output of the light source unit when any one of the first, second, and third light sources becomes the minimum optical output to the minimum optical output at the time of reducing the optical output of the light source unit in a state where the optical output of the light source unit maintains the predetermined color temperature.

  • Publication number: 20130063034
    Abstract: A lighting system according to embodiments includes a first light source, a second light source, a first lighting circuit, a second lighting circuit, a first optical sensor; and a control circuit. The first light source is configured to emit light a half-value width of which is 100 nm or more. The second light source is configured to emit light the half-value width of which is less than 100 nm. The first lighting circuit is configured to light the first light source. The second lighting circuit is configured to light the second light source. The control circuit is configured to perform a lighting control of the first lighting circuit on the basis of a detection value of the first sensor, and perform a lighting control of the second lighting circuit on the basis of a value which is predetermined when operating the first sensor.
