Thus, in the first mode, the state in which the lighting state of the light source unit 101 is controlled according to the signal from the sensor module 402 will be referred to as the "first state". On the other hand, in an emergency when the fire alarm interlocking signal input to the signal input unit 403 is 0 V, the control unit 400 is set to the predetermined value regardless of whether the sensor module 402 detects a person. The lighting state of the light source unit 101 is controlled based on the dimming ratio. In this emergency, for example, the control unit 400 may force the light source unit 101 to turn on all lights regardless of whether the sensor module 402 detects a person. Thus, in the first mode, the state in which the lighting state of the light source unit 101 is controlled by the predetermined dimming ratio regardless of the signal from the sensor module 402 is referred to as the "second state". In the first mode, the signal input section 403 is connected to the guide light signal device 900, and the first state and the second state are switched by the control unit 400 according to the signal from the guide light signal device 900. corresponds to the mode in which

It is also possible to use the lighting fixture 1 without connecting the lighting fixture 1 to a signal sending unit such as the signaling device 900 for the guide light. In this case, since the fire alarm interlocking signal is not input to the signal input section 403, the signal of the signal input section 403 is always 0V. When the lighting fixture 1 is not connected to the guidance light signaling device 900, the control unit 400 performs control in the "second mode". The second mode is a mode in which the signal input section 403 is not connected to the guide light signaling device 900 and the control unit 400 controls the lighting state of the light source section 101 according to the signal from the sensor module 402. . In the second mode, the control unit 400, for example, lights the light source unit 101 in full when the sensor module 402 detects a person, and dims or turns off the light source unit 101 when the sensor module 402 does not detect a person.

On the other hand, in an emergency when the fire alarm interlocking signal of the signal input unit 403 is 0V, the light emitting element of the photocoupler 406 does not emit light and the light receiving element of the photocoupler 406 is turned off. As a result, the presence/absence signal detected by the sensor module 402 is no longer transmitted to the light source unit 100 . In this case, regardless of the signal from the sensor module 402, the second state in which the lighting state of the light source unit 101 is controlled by a predetermined dimming rate is established.

On the other hand, when the switch 431 is turned on, the second mode is entered. In the second mode: The presence/absence signal detected by the sensor module 402 is transmitted to the light source unit 100 via the switch 431 regardless of the signal from the signal input section 403 . Accordingly, the lighting state of the light source unit 101 is controlled according to the signal from the sensor module 402 regardless of the signal from the signal input unit 403 .

In the present embodiment, it is possible to switch between the first mode and the second mode simply by operating the switch 431, and for example, work such as removing wiring inside the control unit 400 is unnecessary. Therefore, when installing the lighting fixture 1, it is possible to switch between the first mode and the second mode with a simple operation depending on whether or not it is connected to the signaling device 900 for the guide light. Therefore, the installation work of the lighting fixture 1 becomes easy.

In this embodiment, the direction corresponding to the left for the worker facing the lighting device 1 is defined as "left", the direction corresponding to the right for the worker is defined as "right", and the direction connecting the left and the right is defined as "left". This is referred to as "left-right direction". The switches 431, 432, 433, and 434 are switched by sliding the operating portions 431a, 432a, 433a, and 434a in the horizontal direction, respectively.

The switches 432 , 433 , 434 correspond to switches capable of switching specific parameters of the lighting fixture 1 . That is, by sliding the operation unit 432a, the "detection sensitivity" parameter can be switched, by sliding the operation unit 433a, the "standby operation" parameter can be switched, and by sliding the operation unit 434a, the "lighting time ” parameter can be switched. The switches 432, 433, and 434 are configured such that when the operating portions 432a, 433a, and 434a are slid from left to right, the parameter to be switched increases. The horizontal axis of the graph is generally written with increasing parameters from left to right. Therefore, it is easy for humans to intuitively understand that the parameters increase from left to right.

The display section 450 is located at the back of the mounting recess 210 . Therefore, when the switches 432, 433, and 434 are operated, it may be difficult to see the display section 450 in the dark.
