Abstract: An operation terminal in a lighting system includes: a storage which stores identification information of each of the plurality of lighting controllers; a communication circuit which performs wireless communication with the plurality of lighting controllers; and a terminal controller which transmits schedule information for each of the plurality of lighting devices to the plurality of lighting controllers via the communication circuit. The terminal controller obtains the identification information of a current lighting controller currently connected to the operation terminal from the current lighting controller via the communication circuit. The terminal controller then confirms, based on the identification information, that the identification information of the current lighting controller is identical to the identification information of the target lighting controller to which the schedule information for a target lighting device is to be transmitted, and then transmits the schedule information for the target lighting device to the current lighting controller.

Abstract: A lighting system includes: a plurality of lighting devices; a controller; and a sensor which detects brightness of a region illuminated by at least two lighting devices among the plurality of lighting devices, wherein the controller includes a lighting controller operable in a plurality of operation modes, the plurality of operation modes include a sensor mode, and when the lighting controller obtains an instruction to operate in the sensor mode, the lighting controller performs (a) transition control for controlling the at least two lighting devices, by transmitting a transition instruction, to cause the at least two lighting devices to provide illumination at a predetermined dimming level, without using a result of detection by the sensor, and (b) dimming control for controlling the at least two lighting devices to cause the brightness indicated by the result of detection by the sensor to approach the target value, after transmitting the transition instruction.
