A warning device includes: a sensor which is attachable to a supporting member and measures a distance, the supporting member being fixedly installed; and a notifier which performs notification using predetermined output. The sensor measures at least one of sensor-object distances and a moving object distance, the sensor-object distances being distances between the sensor and each of at least two moving objects which are approaching to each other, the moving object distance being a distance between the at least two moving objects which are approaching to each other, and the notifier performs the notification by varying a manner of the predetermined output according to the at least one of the sensor object distances and the moving object distance which are measured by the sensor.

Warning device and street light system

A light emission control device includes a light emission controller which controls a light emitter and performs normal control and wake-up control, the normal control being control for causing the light emitter to emit light having a color temperature and luminance according to an instruction of a user, the wake-up control being control for causing the light emitter to emit light at increasing luminance over time to wake up the user who is sleeping. The maximum luminance of light emitted by the light emitter in the wake-up control is greater than the maximum luminance of light emitted by the light emitter in the normal control.

Light emission control device, electronic device, and control method

An illumination system includes a light source capable of emitting biorhythm control light, a controller that controls a lighting state of the light source, and a manipulation apparatus. The controller executes an introduction mode in which the illuminance of the biorhythm control light is set by gradually increasing or decreasing illuminance of the light source over time, and a stationary mode in which the illuminance of the light source is constantly maintained at the illuminance of the biorhythm control light.

Illumination system

A lighting control system controls a light source that emits light to a space in which subjects stay. The lighting control system includes: an communication interface that obtains stay schedule information indicating scheduled periods in an operation period after a first time and before a second time later than the first time, the scheduled periods being periods during each of which a corresponding one of the subjects is to stay in the space; and a processor that creates an illumination schedule for causing the light source to emit the light, based on the stay schedule information, and causes the light source to emit the light according to the illumination schedule created. The processor creates, based on the stay schedule information, the illumination schedule for causing the light source to emit the light during a period including a scheduled period common to at least two of the subjects.

Lighting control system, lighting system, and lighting control method

A cubicle unit includes a first illumination apparatus, a second illumination apparatus, a sensor, and a controller. When a brightness sensed by the sensor is a predetermined brightness or less, the controller causes the second illumination apparatus to emit light having a first color temperature lower than a color temperature of light emitted by the first illumination apparatus. When the brightness sensed by the sensor is greater than the predetermined brightness, the controller causes the second illumination apparatus to emit light having a second color temperature lower than the first color temperature.

Cubicle unit, transportation vehicle, and illumination control method

An illumination system includes: an illumination device; a time setter that sets a target time; and a controller that controls a color temperature of light emitted by the illumination device. The controller determines a target color temperature according to the target time, and causes the color temperature of the light emitted by the illumination device to be the target color temperature at the target time.

Illumination system and mobile body

A lighting device includes: an illuminator which emits illumination light; a clock which measures time; a receiver which receives input of a set time from a user; a sensor which detects whether an eye of the user is open; and a controller which controls, at or after the set time, the illuminator, based on a result of the detection by the sensor.

Lighting device and lighting system

An illumination system includes: a seat; a wall; and a sleep control light for controlling sleep, wherein the seat includes a backrest and a seating portion, and makes a transition between a seated state and a lying state when the backrest and the seating portion make a slide movement, the seated state being a state where a minor angle formed between the backrest and the seating portion is a first angle, the lying state being a state where the minor angle is a second angle greater than the first angle, an optical axis of the sleep control light is tilted downward with respect to the horizontal plane, the sleep control light is located behind or above the seat when the seat is in the seated state, and the optical axis of the sleep control light passes through the backrest when the seat is in the lying state.

A lighting device includes: a light source switchable between illumination modes; a human detector which detects a person in a detection area in an illumination area of the light source; an ID reader which wirelessly reads an identification stored in an RF tag in a read area corresponding to the detection area; and a controller communicably connected to the light source, the human detector, and the ID reader. The controller obtains from the human detector human detection information indicating that one or more persons are present, obtains from the ID reader one or more identifications read by the ID reader when the human detector detects the one or more persons, and applies one mode of the illumination modes to the light source based on the human detection information and one or more identifications obtained, and the light source performs illumination in the applied mode.

An illumination system includes a plurality of illumination apparatuses including a sleeping location illumination apparatus provided near a sleeping location. Each of the illumination apparatuses has a light source configured to irradiate an illumination light, a control unit configured to control lighting of the light source, and a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a control signal including a lighting signal for lighting the light source. A control unit of at least one of the illumination apparatuses turns on the light source before a preset wake-up time and controls the transceiver to transmit the control signal to another illumination apparatus.

Illumination system and illumination apparatus used therefor

In an illumination apparatus, a control unit starts lighting of a light source at a first time before a wake-up set time and executes a first control pattern to increase a dimming ratio of the light source from the first time to a second time determined based on the wake-up set time and a second control pattern to further increase the dimming ratio of the light source from the second time to a third time determined based on the wake-up set time. When a change curve of the dimming ratio in the first control pattern and the second control pattern is applied to a function represented by the equation: Y(t)=d+(a&#x2212;d)/(1+(t/c)), the time c becomes closer to the second time than the first time in the first control pattern, and becomes closer to the second time than the third time in the second control pattern.

Illumination apparatus

An illumination system includes an illumination device, a control unit for controlling a turn-on operation of the illumination device, and a terminal through which manipulation information of the illumination device is inputted by a user. The control unit includes an information extracting unit for extracting illumination information, within a period between a first moment prior to a falling-asleep time of the user and a second moment after a wakeup time of the user, from manipulation information and operation information of the illumination device stored in a memory unit, and an information transceiver unit for transmitting and receiving the illumination information to and the terminal. The terminal includes a terminal transceiver unit for transmitting and receiving the illumination information to and from the control unit, a display unit for displaying the illumination information received through the terminal transceiver unit and an input unit by which the manipulation information is inputted.
