Abstract
A controller of a lighting fixture is configured to set a light modulation level of an LED to a first light modulation level in a period from a beginning of a night time slot until when a predetermined first time period elapses, regardless of a detection result of a human detecting sensor, and set the light modulation level of the LED to a second light modulation level that is lower than the first light modulation level when the first time period elapses. The controller is configured to set, when the human detecting sensor detects a person in a state where the light modulation level of the LED is set to the second light modulation level, the light modulation level of the LED to the first light modulation level for a predetermined time period.
