In FIG. 6, first, desired areas A and B in FIG. 1 are selected from the function setting unit 84, the screen setting unit 85, and the operation unit 86 in the operation panel 54a in FIG. In the following, 16 areas will be described instead of areas A and B in FIG. This one
Desired pattern control, scene control, lighting start time, and extinction time in 6 areas are selected. This selection may be made from the pattern switch monitor 60 and the scene switch monitor 62. In this case, the content of the pattern control of the program stored in the ROM or the like in the program setting unit 54 in FIG. 2 is selected.

The selected pattern control, scene control, turn-on start time, and turn-off time are determined by the main control section 51 in FIG.
Then, the input is judged (step (S) 10). If No is not input here, the input waiting is repeated. When the input is Yes, pattern control and scene control for each area are selected from the programs stored in the memory or the like in the program setting unit 54 (step 11).

First, the switch input for the pattern control and the scene control in the area 1 is determined, and if No in the case where the pattern control and the scene control are not performed, the next area 2 is determined (step 12). If the pattern control and the scene control are Yes, the control operation of the selected pattern control and scene control in the area 1 is processed in the main operation panel 30 shown in FIG. 2 (step 13).

This threshold value "a" is the illumination loads 38a to 38d, 40a in FIG. 1 in the pattern control when the daylight level from the optical sensor 32 rises, that is, at dawn.
It is set to instantly turn off 40d to 40d and start scene control. Further, the threshold value b is
This is for starting similar pattern control and scene control in the evening when the daylight level decreases. After being set in this way, the main control unit 51 takes in the daylight level signal from the optical sensor terminal 33 shown in FIG. 1 through the transmission control unit 52 in FIG. Step 20).

It is determined whether the daylight level signal exceeds the threshold value a in FIG. That is, it is determined that it is the dawn (step 21). In step 21, if the daylight level signal exceeds the threshold value a, the pattern control and the scene control for each 16 areas are examined, and the pattern control and the scene control respectively set in the areas 1 to 16 are determined. That is, the process proceeds to the start of scene control in the lighting loads 44a to 44d (step 22), for example, as shown in FIG.
The lighting loads 38a to 38d and 40a to 40d in the inside are instantly turned off.

In step 21, if the daylight level signal does not exceed the threshold value a, it is judged that the daylight level signal is below the threshold value b in FIG. 8, that is, in the evening. (Step 23). In this step 23, if it is less than the threshold value b, the pattern control and the scene control for every 16 areas are examined, and the pattern control and the scene control respectively set in the areas 1 to 16, that is, the lighting loads 44a to 44d. 1 is started (step 24), for example, the illumination loads 38a to 38 in FIG.
d, 40a to 40d are instantly turned on. If the answer is No in step 23, the determination here is repeated.

After that, the switch input for the pattern control and the scene control in the area 1 is judged, and if there is no pattern control or the scene control here, the next area 2
Is determined (step 25). If the pattern control and the scene control are Yes, the control operation of the selected pattern control and the scene control in the area 1 is processed by the main operation panel 30 shown in FIG. 2 (step 2).
6). Similarly, the subsequent switch input from the area 2 to the area 16 is determined, and the control operation of the pattern control and the scene control is processed (steps 27, 28, 29).
