Device and method for controlling a lighting system by proximity sensing of a spot-light control device and spotlight control device

摘要

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for controlling a lighting system by proximity sensing of a spotlight control device, particularly to controlling a spotlight generated by a lighting system such as a large LED lighting array by means of a spotlight control device. A device is provided for controlling a lighting system by proximity sensing of a spotlight control device, wherein a predefined area around the spotlight control device is illuminated if a proximity sensor signals presence of the spotlight control device within the predefined area.

主权项

1. A device for controlling a lighting system by proximity sensing of a spotlight control device, the device comprising:
at least one proximity sensor for sensing the spotlight control device within an area in the proximity of the lighting system, and adapted to transmit a detect signal, and a light switch controller adapted to control a plurality lighting devices of the lighting system depending on the detect signal of the at least one proximity sensor such that a predefined area around the spotlight control device is illuminated if the at least one proximity sensor signals presence of the spotlight control device within the predefined area; wherein the light switch controller is configured to switch off the plurality of lighting devices if the at least one proximity sensor no longer signals presence of the spotlight control device within the predefined area; the light switch controller having a receiver receiving a light control signal for toggling an illumination control indicator, wherein the light switch controller modifies the lighting devices output depending on the status of the illumination control indicator.
