Disclosed is a lighting control apparatus. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a lighting system control be easily configured, maintained, and repaired since additional light and block control of the lighting can be provided with ease by wireless control of the lighting through wireless communication. In addition, the present invention can control individual lamps by storing a control signal corresponding to an address for each lamp in a gateway according to a predetermined scenario.

Lighting control apparatus

Provided is a lighting apparatus that may form and control a multi-zone of a plurality of lighting devices connected to a wireless network. The lighting apparatus may include a plurality of devices including a plurality of lighting devices included in a network set in advance, a coordinator to manage the network, a remote controller to control a multi-zone that is included in the network and that performs grouping of the plurality of lighting devices into a plurality of groups.

Lighting apparatus

Disclosed herein are a system and a method for controlling lighting. In the lighting control system, one or more lighting devices are installed in a separate area within a building and a remote controller generates a scheduling data by setting lighting scenes at each time and controls the lighting of the corresponding lighting device via a short range wireless communication. In addition, the remote controller transmits the scheduling data to a remote server through a gateway and when the remote controller is not normally operated, the remote server controls the lighting device according to the scheduling data through the gateway.

System and method for controlling lighting

The present invention provides a wireless device and method for reducing standby power. The method for reducing standby power of the wireless device includes the steps of: charging a charging battery with power supplied from an AC commercial power source in a normal mode of the wireless device, blocking the power of the AC commercial power source and converting an operation state of the wireless device so that the wireless device is in a standby mode when an operation-off signal used for turning off a predetermined device is transmitted from an outside. In this case, the wireless device receives the power with which the charging battery has been charged. In a standby mode, the wires device is periodically converted to be in a normal mode to transmit an operation state inquiry signal to the outside, so that it is possible to normally control the predetermined device.

Method for reducing standby power and wireless device using the same

There are provided a switching module and a switching synchronization system. The switching module includes a plurality of first to n-th switching modules according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, wherein each of the first to n-th switching modules includes: a button unit that includes a plurality of switching buttons; a state display unit that includes a plurality of display lamps corresponding to each of the plurality of switching buttons in the button unit; a switch controller that controls the operation of the state display unit according to the operation of each of the plurality of switching buttons in the button unit; and a switch communication unit that transmits the wireless switching control signal including the switching control and provides the switching control signals included in the wireless switching control signals received to the switch controller.
