When the first lighting control unit 140A receives a signal including a lighting command from the wireless communication unit 300, it controls the switch unit 160 so that the light source unit 200 lights up. Specifically, the first lighting control unit 140A turns on the switch element 161. As a result, light is generated from the light source section 200. The first lighting control unit 140A of this embodiment controls the gate terminal of the Nch MOSFET, which is the switch element 161, to turn on the switch element 161.

When the first lighting control unit 140A receives a signal including a lights-off command from the wireless communication unit 300, it controls the switch unit 160 so that the light source unit 200 is turned off. Specifically, the first lighting control unit 140A turns off the switch element 161. As a result, the light source section 200 is turned off.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the first lighting control section 140A, the first storage section 150A, and the wireless communication section 300 according to the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first storage unit 150A stores type information 151 and identification information 152. Type information 151 indicates the type of lighting fixture 1. Specifically, the first storage unit 150A stores first type information 151A as the type information 151. The first type information 151A indicates the type of the first lighting fixture 1A. Specifically, the first type information 151A indicates the ON-OFF type.

As shown in FIG. 3, the wireless communication section 300 includes an antenna 31, a transmitting/receiving section 32, a communication control section 33, and a storage section 34. Antenna 31 receives radio signals from bridge 4. The wireless signal is an RF (Radio Frequency) band signal.

Further, the transmitter/receiver 32 receives a digital signal from the communication controller 33. The transmitter/receiver 32 modulates the digital signal received from the communication controller 33 into a wireless signal. As a result, a radio signal is transmitted from the antenna 31 to the bridge 4.

The communication control unit 33 includes a logic circuit such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). The communication control unit 33 converts the digital signal demodulated by the transmitting/receiving unit 32 into a signal compliant with the fourth communication standard described with reference to FIG. 2, and transmits the signal to the first lighting control unit 140A. As a result, a command signal is transmitted to the first lighting control section 140A. Note that the communication control unit 33 may include a processor such as a CPU, MPU, or MCU.

The storage unit 34 stores communication programs. The communication program defines the processing that the communication control unit 33 executes. Furthermore, the storage unit 34 stores various data. In this embodiment, the storage unit 34 stores type information 151 and identification information 152. The storage unit 34 is, for example, a rewritable nonvolatile memory such as EEPROM (registered trademark).

The type information 151 is stored in the storage unit 34 during startup processing, which will be described later with reference to FIG. First type information 151A is stored as type information 151 in the storage unit 34 of the wireless communication unit 300 installed in the first lighting fixture 1A.

The identification information 152 is stored in the storage unit 34, for example, after execution of startup processing, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 4. Specifically, the first lighting control unit 140A reads the identification information 152 from the first storage unit 150A, transmits a signal indicating the identification information 152 to the communication control unit 33, and the communication control unit 33 reads the identification information 152. The information is stored in the storage unit 34.

The communication control unit 33 controls the transmitting/receiving unit 32 so that a signal indicating the type information 151 and the identification information 152 is transmitted to the bridge 4. Specifically, the communication control unit 33 transmits a digital signal indicating type information 151 and identification information 152 to the transmitting/receiving unit 32. The transmitter/receiver 32 modulates the digital signal received from the communication controller 33 into a wireless signal. As a result, a signal indicating the type information 151 and identification information 152 is transmitted from the antenna 31 to the bridge 4. Hereinafter, the type information 151 and the identification information 152 may be collectively referred to as "setting information". Further, a signal indicating setting information may be referred to as a "setting signal".

The setting signal transmission process, which is the process of transmitting the setting signal to the bridge 4, is executed after the startup process, which will be described later with reference to FIG. Alternatively, the setting signal transmission process is executed when the bridge 4 requests the wireless communication unit 300 to transmit the type information 151 and the identification information 152. Alternatively, the setting signal transmission process is executed when the wireless communication unit 300 and the bridge 4 execute the process of authenticating each other.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the startup process executed by the first lighting control section 140A and the communication control section 33 will be described. FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing the startup process according to this embodiment. The startup process is executed every time the first lighting control unit 140A is powered on.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the first lighting control section 140A is powered on, the first lighting control section 140A instructs the communication control section 33 to start up (step (a)). As a result, the communication control section 33 is activated.

When activated, the communication control unit 33 notifies the first lighting control unit 140A of the activation (step (b)). When the first lighting control unit 140A confirms that the communication control unit 33 has started, it reads the type information 151 from the first storage unit 150A and transmits a signal indicating the type information 151 to the communication control unit 33 (step (c) )). Specifically, the first lighting control section 140A transmits a signal indicating the first type information 151A to the communication control section 33. Upon receiving the signal indicating the type information 151 (first type information 151A), the communication control unit 33 causes the storage unit 34 to store the type information 151 (first type information 151A).

After storing type information 151 (first type information 151A) in memory 34, communication control unit 33 reads type information 151 (first type information 151A) from memory 34, transmits a signal indicating type information 151 (first type information 151A) to first lighting control unit 140A (step (d)), and ends the startup process.

The first lighting control unit 140A confirms that the type information 151 (first type information 151A) received from the communication control unit 33 matches the type information 151 (first type information 151A) stored in the first storage unit 150A, and terminates the startup process.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the second lighting fixture 1B will be described. However, elements that are different from the first lighting fixture 1A will be mainly explained, and detailed descriptions of the same elements as the first lighting fixture 1A will be omitted.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the configuration of the second lighting fixture 1B according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the second lighting fixture 1B includes a first input terminal 11a, a second input terminal 11b, a rectifier circuit 110, a smoothing circuit 120, a constant current circuit 130, a second lighting control section 140B, and a second storage section. 150B, a switch section 160, a light source section 200, and a wireless communication section 300. The second lighting fixture 1B differs from the first lighting fixture 1A in the processing executed by the second lighting control unit 140B.

The second storage unit 150B stores a second lighting program. The second lighting program defines the processing executed by the second lighting control unit 140B. Further, the second storage unit 150B stores type information 151 similarly to the first storage unit 150A. Specifically, the second storage unit 150B stores second type information 151B as the type information 151. The second type information 151B indicates the type of the second lighting fixture 1B. Specifically, the second type information 151B indicates the dimming type. Note that, like the first storage unit 150A, the second storage unit 150B further stores identification information 152 assigned to the second lighting fixture 1B.

The second lighting control section 140B inputs a PWM signal to the switch element 161 when the light source section 200 is turned on. The frequency of the PWM signal is, for example, 100 Hz or more and 200 Hz or less. By inputting the PWM signal to the switch element 161, the switch element 161 repeats turn-on and turn-off. Therefore, the light source section 200 repeats turning on and off more than 100 times and less than 200 times per second. Note that since the frequency of the PWM signal is 100 Hz or more and 200 Hz or less, it appears to the human eye that the light source section 200 is continuously lit due to an afterimage effect.

When the first input terminal 11a and the second input terminal 11b are electrically connected to the AC power source A and the second lighting control section 140B is powered on, the second lighting control section 140B is activated. Similarly to 140A, the startup process described with reference to FIG. 4 is executed. As a result, the type information 151 (second type information 151B) is stored in the wireless communication unit 300 of the second lighting fixture 1B.

Further, the second lighting control section 140B reads the identification information 152 from the second storage section 150B and transmits a signal indicating the identification information 152 to the wireless communication section 300, similarly to the first lighting control section 140A. As a result, the identification information 152 is stored in the wireless communication unit 300 of the second lighting fixture 1B.

When the second lighting control unit 140B receives a signal including a lighting command from the wireless communication unit 300, it controls the switch unit 160 to turn on the light source unit 200. Specifically, the second lighting control unit 140B inputs a PWM signal to the switch element 161 to cause the light source 210 to generate light.

Specifically, the lighting command sent to the second lighting fixture 1B includes light amount information in addition to the lighting command. The second lighting control unit 140B adjusts the duty ratio of the PWM signal based on the light amount information. Specifically, the second illumination control unit 140B adjusts the length of the ON period of each pulse of the PWM signal. The length of the ON period indicates the length of the period during which the switch element 161 is in the ON state in one cycle of the PWM signal.
