Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lighting, and particularly relates to an indoor lighting control device.
Background
Indoor lighting is an important component of indoor environment design, and the indoor lighting design is beneficial to the safe and comfortable life of people. In human life, light is not only a condition for indoor lighting, but also a basic element for expressing a spatial form and creating an environmental atmosphere. The indoor natural light or light illumination design needs to meet the needs of various activities of people in function, and also needs to pay attention to the space illumination effect.
In the life of people, different requirements for lighting also appear; for example, roommates living in the same bedroom can work or learn under different living habits, namely, part of the roommates sleep, and the other part of the roommates need to be illuminated; for example, friends, couples and the like living in the same room, and some living habits are different; for example, when a family member respectively sleeping in a living room, a bedroom or the like needs to supplement food at night or needs to go to a toilet; most of the lights which are diffused and reflected can cause mutual influence and disturbance to a certain degree; the light generally needs to meet the common illumination of people when people use the light together, namely most of the light has the effect of diffuse reflection; therefore, when different life styles or activities are performed, a certain degree of mutual influence and disturbance are caused.
