4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the operation of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, first, the microcontroller (MC) 30 determines whether the keypad 50 has been operated (S10).

As a result, when it is determined that none of the plurality of pushbutton keys 54 to 59 of the keypad 50 has not been operated, the plurality of light sources 10 are kept off, otherwise the plurality of light source keys 10 are turned off. The light source 10 is turned on to emit light at a predetermined level stored in the memory of the microcontroller 30, that is, any one selected from six levels (S20). In addition, although this invention demonstrates at six levels for description, it is not limited to this. Here, the predetermined level stored in the memory of the microcontroller 30 is the brightness and color of the light of the sunrise and sunset, daytime, cloudy day, moonlight or dark day, for example, six levels, each of a plurality of pushbutton keys ( 54 to 59).

For example, when the pushbutton keys 54 of the pushbutton keys 54 to 59 are operated, the brightness and color of the sunrise light among the levels stored in the memory of the microcontroller 30, for example, the light source 10. The level of the light source (C) of the white system is 1, the level of the light source (W) of the orange system of the light source 10 is emitted at a ratio of 11. In addition, when the pushbutton key 55 is operated, as the sunset, the level of the light source C of the white system is 0, the level of the light source W of the orange system is 1, and the pushbutton key 56 is In the case of operation, the ratio of the light source C of the white system is 16, the level of the light source W of the orange system is 16, and the cloudy day when the pushbutton key 57 is operated. When the level of the light source C of the white system is 16, the ratio of the level of the light source W of the orange system is 2, and the pushbutton key 58 is operated, the light source C of the white system is a bright day. When the level of the light source (W) of the orange system is 8, the ratio of the level of the light source (W) of 1 is 1, and the pushbutton key (59) is operated, the light source (C) of the white system is 1, The level of the light source W of the orange system emits light at a ratio of zero, respectively.

Next, it is determined whether the up / down keys 51 and 52 of the keypad 50 have been operated (S30).

As a result, if it is determined that the up / down keys 51 and 52 are not operated, it is determined whether the push button keys 54 to 59 are operated (S70), otherwise, the brightness and color of the light source 10 are determined. Adjust (S40). Here, when the up / down keys 51 and 52 are operated in the − direction, the brightness level of the light source 10 is lowered, and when the up / down keys 51 and 52 are operated in the + direction, the brightness level of the light source 10 is increased to emit light.

Subsequently, it is determined whether the pushbutton keys 54 to 59 have been pressed for 3 seconds or longer to determine whether to store the level of the current state (S50).

As a result, if it is determined that the pushbutton keys 54 to 59 have not been pressed for longer than 3 seconds, it is determined whether the pushbutton keys 54 to 59 are operated (S70), otherwise the level of the current state is recalled. Store it in memory as it is (S60).

Next, it is determined whether the push button keys 54 to 59 are operated (S70).

As a result, if it is determined that the push button keys 54 to 59 have not been operated, the step S70 is repeated again, otherwise, it is determined that the push button keys 54 to 49 are clicked once. When the light source 10 is turned off (S80).

As mentioned above, although the invention made by this inventor was demonstrated concretely based on embodiment, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Needless to say that a various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary.

As described above, according to the present invention, by controlling the brightness and color of the light source emitting light of different colors using the lighting control device, it is possible to output natural light such as sun light or moon light.

Further, according to the present invention, even when the lamp is turned on, the brightness and color of the light source can be set to a predetermined state, for example, the light source can emit light with the brightness and color of the light of a sunrise and sunset, daytime, cloudy day, bright moonlight or dark day. At the same time, the brightness and color of the light emitted from the light source can be set arbitrarily.
