System comprising showcases and a control apparatus

摘要

An object is to provide a control apparatus (33) of a showcase (1) in which appropriate illumination having a high presentation effect can be realized by an LED illumination apparatus (15) having a high durability against turning ON/OFF and capable of securing a predetermined illumination intensity even under an environment at a low temperature. The control apparatus (33) controls a plurality of showcases (1) so that display chambers (5) where commodities are displayed are illuminated with LED illumination apparatuses (15), and includes a person detecting sensor (11) provided in a showcase (1) disposed in such a position that the approaching of any person can first be detected among the plurality of arranged showcases (1). When the person detecting sensor (11) detects the approaching of the person, the illumination intensities of all the LED illumination apparatuses (15) of the plurality of showcases (1) are increased.
