ている。The operation of the illumination system when the human sensor A38 detects the person 21 will be described with reference to FIGS. The timer 42 is activated by the detection signal of the human sensor A38.
Is activated, and an ON operation signal is transmitted from the timer 42 to the fluorescent lamp fixtures 31 to 36 via the signal line 41. At the same time, counting of a preset time of about 1 to 5 minutes starts. The fluorescent lamp 31 includes a control circuit 44, an inverter 45,
The fluorescent lamp 2 and the like are included, and the signal line 41 is connected to the control circuit 44. The control circuit 44 is set to oscillate the inverter 45 when an ON operation signal is transmitted from one of the timers 42 and 43.

This operation is the same for the fluorescent lamp fixtures 32 to 36, and as a result, all the fluorescent lamps 2 are turned on. When the timer 42 finishes counting (time-up), the operation signal from the timer 42 turns off, and the fluorescent lamp 31
The fluorescent lamps 2 within 36 are turned off or dimmed. This series of operations is the same when the human sensor 40 detects the person 21.

In the conventional lighting system shown in FIGS. 14 to 14, a plurality of fluorescent lamp fixtures 31 are provided by the lighting controller A37 or B39.
Since it is designed to control ~ 36, it is necessary to connect the lighting controller A37 or B39 to the fluorescent lamp fixtures 31 to 36 with the signal line 41, which requires a high cost for construction, and it is troublesome to change the existing fluorescent lamp fixtures. There was a problem of this. In addition, when the fluorescent lamps are configured to interlock using infrared signals, if multiple fluorescent lamps receive the infrared signals at the same time, the infrared signals are transmitted from all the received fluorescent lamps and the infrared signals collide. Therefore, there is a problem that the control signal cannot be transmitted.

When there are multiple entrances and exits such as passages, the fluorescent lamp fixture A is installed at each entrance, and no matter which entrance / exit the human sensor detects the human body, the infrared signal reaches the last fluorescent lamp fixture in the shortest time. Since a plurality of transmission orders are set as described above, for example, as compared with a case in which a plurality of infrared signal transmission orders are not set, there is no delay in one direction for transmitting infrared signals, and fluorescent lamp fixtures are used in long passages. Even when there are many units, it is possible to shorten the time required for infrared rays to reach the last fluorescent lamp fixture. This has the same effect of shortening the time when the fluorescent lamp fixture A equipped with the human sensor is installed at the center of the passage instead of at the end of the passage. When an infrared signal from another fluorescent fixture A is received, The operation is similar to that of the lamp fixture B, and relays infrared rays.

However, the light may be adjusted when there is a person. Further, although the case where the lighting system of the invention is installed in the passage has been described, the same effect can be expected in the case where there is only one doorway such as a locker room, or when there are three or more doorways in the aisle. Furthermore, even when the illuminance sensor is mounted instead of the human sensor to control the illuminance,
The same effect can be obtained without changing the transmission of the dimming degree. The same effect can be expected by using a switch or a temperature sensor instead of the motion sensor.

ように構成されたことを特徴とする照明システム。1. A lighting system comprising infrared receiving means and transmitting means, wherein a plurality of lighting equipments for transmitting and receiving control signals via the infrared rays are arranged adjacent to each other, wherein the plurality of lighting equipments are provided in advance. It is divided into a luminaire A having a control starting means and a luminaire B having no control starting means, together with a transmission number indicating a transmission order. The luminaire A has an output from the control starting means. When
The dimming control is started, first and second signals are respectively generated from the dimming degree information, its own transmission number, and first and second different transmission order information, and these two signals are combined in time series. Output to the transmitting means of itself as a control signal, and when the receiving means of itself receives the control signal transmitted from the other luminaire A or the luminaire B, the transmission number in the received control signal is Sends a new control signal replaced with its own transmission number as a new control signal to its own transmission means, and transmits until a new control signal is transmitted from its own transmission number, the transmission number in the received control signal, and transmission order information. The time zone is calculated and transmitted based on this transmission time zone, and at the same time, the dimming control is performed based on the dimming degree information in the received control signal. of When the control signal transmitted from the lighting device B is received, the transmission number in the received control signal is replaced with its own transmission number and is output as a new control signal to its own transmission means. Calculate the transmission time period until a new control signal is sent from the transmission number and transmission order information in the received control signal, and send it based on this transmission time band, and use it for the dimming degree information in the received control signal. A lighting system configured to perform dimming control based on the lighting system.
