For example, the lighting unit 24 emits light when power is supplied from a power supply unit (not shown). The lighting unit 24 is composed of, for example, an incandescent bulb, a fluorescent lamp, or an LED.

Next, functions realized by the CPU 21 of the lighting device 20 will be described.
First, the CPU 21 has a function of transmitting a stored value to the control device 10.
For example, the CPU 21 receives a request for acquiring a stored value from the control device 10 through the communication unit 23. When the CPU 21 receives the request, the CPU 21 acquires a stored value from the storage area 22 a of the memory unit 22. The CPU 21 transmits a response for storing the stored value to the control device 10 through the communication unit 23.

Further, the CPU 21 has a function of transmitting a reproduction value to the control device 10.

When receiving the request, the CPU 21 acquires a reproduction value from the storage area 22b. The CPU 21 transmits a response for storing the reproduction value to the control device 10 through the communication unit 23.

  Note that the CPU 21 may receive a request for acquiring a stored value and a reproduction value from the control device 10. The CPU 21 may transmit a response for storing the stored value and the reproduction value to the control device 10.

Further, the CPU 21 has a function of dimming light emitted from the lighting unit 24 based on a signal from the control device 10 (control unit).
For example, the CPU 21 receives a dimming signal storing a reproduction value indicating a predetermined dimming level from the control device 10 through the communication unit 23. The CPU 21 dims the lighting unit 24 according to the dimming signal. Further, the CPU 21 changes the reproduction value to the dimming level indicated by the dimming signal in the storage area 22b.

  For example, when the dimming signal indicates “20” as the reproduction value, the CPU 21 dimmes the lighting unit 24 to emit light corresponding to the reproduction value “20”. Further, the CPU 21 changes the reproduction value of the storage area 22b to “20”.

Further, the CPU 21 has a function of changing a control value based on a signal from the control device 10 (control value changing unit).
For example, the CPU 21 receives a stored value change signal (control value change signal) for changing the stored value as the control value to the current reproduction value from the control device 10 through the communication unit 23. In accordance with the stored value change signal, the CPU 21 changes the stored value to the current reproduction value in the storage area 22a. For example, when the reproduction value is “20” and the storage value is “100”, the CPU 21 changes the storage value to “20” in the storage area 22a according to the storage value change signal.

  Note that the CPU 21 may receive a signal specifying a stored value from the control device 10 and change the stored value to the stored value specified by the signal in the storage area 22a.

When receiving the reset signal, the CPU 21 acquires a stored value from the storage area 22a. When acquiring the stored value, the CPU 21 dims the lighting unit 24 to the default dimming level indicated by the stored value. Further, the CPU 21 changes the reproduction value to the storage value in the storage area 22b.

  For example, when the reproduction value is “50” and the stored value is “20”, the CPU 21 dims the lighting unit 24 to emit light corresponding to the stored value “20”. Further, the CPU 21 changes the reproduction value to “20” in the storage area 22b.

Further, the CPU 21 dims the lighting unit 24 to the default dimming level indicated by the stored value at the start of lighting of the lighting unit 24.
For example, the CPU 21 receives an activation signal for turning on the lighting unit 24 through the communication unit 23. The CPU 21 acquires a stored value from the storage area 22a when the power is turned on and the power supply is turned on or when an activation signal is received. When acquiring the stored value, the CPU 21 dims the lighting unit 24 at the default dimming level indicated by the stored value as the default control value.

Further, the CPU 21 has a function of transmitting a name to the control device 10.
For example, the CPU 21 receives a request for acquiring a name from the control device 10 through the communication unit 23. When receiving the request, the CPU 21 acquires a name from the storage area 22 c of the memory unit 22. The CPU 21 transmits a response for storing the name to the control device 10 through the communication unit 23.

  When the storage area 22c stores a blank as a name, the CPU 21 may transmit the blank as a name to the control device 10. Further, the CPU 21 may transmit a response indicating that it is blank to the control device 10.

Moreover, CPU21 has a function to change a name based on the signal from the control apparatus 10 (name change part).
For example, the CPU 21 receives a name change signal for storing a new name from the control device 10 through the communication unit 23. In accordance with the name change signal, the CPU 21 changes the name to the name stored in the name change signal in the storage area 22c. When the storage area 22c stores a blank as a name, the CPU 21 stores the name indicated by the name change signal in the storage area 22c.

Further, when the CPU 11 newly acquires a stored value or a reproduced value, the CPU 11 updates the display of the stored value or the reproduced value.

Further, the CPU 11 has a function of transmitting a dimming signal to the lighting device 20.
For example, the CPU 11 receives an input of the dimming level through the operation unit 16. For example, the CPU 11 displays an icon for changing the dimming level on the display unit 17. The CPU 11 receives an input of a light control level by receiving a tap on the icon.

  The CPU 11 generates a dimming signal that stores a reproduction value indicating the input dimming level. The CPU 11 transmits the dimming signal to the lighting device 20 through the communication unit 15.

Further, the CPU 11 has a function of transmitting a stored value change signal for changing the stored value to the lighting device 20.
For example, the CPU 11 receives an operation for changing the stored value to the current reproduction value through the operation unit 16. For example, the CPU 11 displays an icon for accepting an operation for changing the stored value to the current reproduction value on the display unit 17. The CPU 11 accepts an operation for changing the stored value to the current reproduction value by accepting a tap on the icon.

When the CPU 11 accepts the operation, the CPU 11 generates a stored value change signal for changing the stored value to the current reproduction value. The CPU 11 transmits the stored value change signal to the lighting device 20 through the communication unit 15.

The CPU 11 has a function of displaying a name.
For example, the CPU 11 displays a text box for displaying a name on the display unit 17. The CPU 11 displays the name in the text box.
When the name is blank, the CPU 11 displays a predetermined default name.

Further, the CPU 11 has a function of transmitting a name change signal for changing the name to the lighting device 20.

The CPU 11 receives an input of a new name in the text box. CPU11 acquires the name input into the said text box as a new name. Note that the text box that accepts the input of the name on the display unit 17 may be the same as the text box that displays the name.

When acquiring a new name, the CPU 11 generates a name change signal for storing the new name. The CPU 11 transmits the name change signal to the lighting device 20 through the communication unit 15.

When the name is acquired, the CPU 21 transmits a response for storing the name to the control device 10 through the communication unit 23 (S63).

  The CPU 11 receives the response from the lighting device 20 through the communication unit 15. When receiving the response, the CPU 11 displays a default name in the text box 31 (S64).

  When the default name is displayed, the CPU 11 receives an input of a new name through the operation unit 16 at a predetermined timing (S65). Here, it is assumed that the CPU 11 has received an input of “entrance (1)” as a new name.

  Upon receiving an input of a new name, the CPU 11 transmits a name change signal for storing a new name (“entrance (1)”) to the lighting device 20 through the communication unit 15 (S65).

  The CPU 21 receives the name change signal from the control device 10 through the communication unit 23. When receiving the name change signal, the CPU 21 stores “entrance (1)” as a name in the storage area 22c (S66).

  When “entrance (1)” is stored as the name, the CPU 21 transmits an ACK response to the control device 10 through the communication unit 23 (S67).
