  • Publication number: 20140300277
    Abstract: Plural luminaires are installed in a lighting space surrounded by a wall part. A sensor equipment detects existence or nonexistence of a person in the lighting space. If existence of a person in the lighting space is detected, the sensor equipment detects a direction of the person. The sensor equipment detects a distance between the wall part positioned in front of the direction of the person and the person. A lighting control unit selectively switches between a first control for performing lighting control of the luminaires to illuminate the wall part positioned in front of the direction of the person if the detected distance is a specified distance or less, and a second control for performing lighting control of the luminaires to reduce brightness at a place as the place becomes farther from a position of the person if the detected distance is larger than the specified distance.

  • Publication number: 20140042914
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a lighting control unit turns on luminaires corresponding to a presence area among four detection areas adjacent to one another in a predetermined direction and a crossing direction. If there is one presence area among the four detection areas, the lighting control unit relatively reduces the brightness of the luminaires corresponding to remaining three absence areas. If there are two presence areas among the four detection areas, the lighting control unit relatively reduces the brightness of the luminaires on a side adjacent to the presence areas among the luminaires corresponding to the remaining two absence areas and turns off the remaining other luminaires. If there are three presence areas among the four detection areas, the lighting control unit turns off the luminaires corresponding to the remaining one absence area.
