One or more lighting devices in each of the one or more rows of lighting devices connect to a first end of the interface module via a communication line. Each of the one or more rows of lighting devices includes the one or more lighting devices. Each of the one or more lighting devices includes a green light emitting diode (LED), a blue LED, and a white LED. A second end of the interface module connects to a control module. The control module connects to the one or more rows of lighting devices via the interface module. Each of the lighting devices has different-color LED particles. The light emission states of the lighting devices are automatically controlled by the control module. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A poultry farming light control system, comprising: one or more rows of lighting devices each connected to a control device, wherein each of the one or more rows of lighting devices includes one or more of the lighting devices, and each of the lighting devices includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), the control device includes: a wireless communication module which uploads data to a cloud server, or receives a first control instruction which is transmitted by the cloud server; a control module which connects to the wireless communication module, transmits a control signal to each of the lighting devices based on the first control instruction, and controls a light emission state of the lighting device; an electronic device which transmits the first control instruction to the control device via the cloud server based on a user operation; the control module being a programmable logic controller; an interface module being an RS485 interface; and the control module receiving a message fed back by each of the lighting devices via the interface module, and obtaining position information of the lighting device based on the message received. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The poultry farming light control system according to claim 1, wherein the control device further includes the interface module, and the interface module has a first end connected to the control module and a second end connected to the one or more rows of lighting devices. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The poultry farming light control system according to claim 2, wherein the control device further includes a touch panel, the touch panel connects to the control module, and transmits a second control signal to the control module based on a user operation, and the control module transmits a control signal to each of the one or more of the lighting devices based on the second control instruction, and controls a light emission state of the lighting device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The poultry farming light control system according to claim 3, wherein the touch panel displays position information of a lighting device having a trouble included in the one or more rows of lighting devices, based on an alert signal which is transmitted by the control module. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The poultry farming light control system according to claim 3, wherein the touch panel includes a mode switch button, the mode switch button transmits a mode switch instruction to the control module based on a user operation, and the control module causes each of the one or more lighting devices to switch between a first mode and a second mode, based on the mode switch instruction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The poultry farming light control system according to claim 5, wherein the first mode is a farming mode, and the second mode is a cleaning mode. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The poultry farming light control system according to claim 1, wherein the control device further includes a connection line terminal, and the connection line terminal has a first end connected to a second end of the RS485 interface and a second end connected to the one or more rows of lighting devices via an RS485 communication line. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The poultry farming light control system according to claim 1, wherein the lighting devices include a green LED, a blue LED, and a white LED. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The poultry farming light control system according to claim 1, wherein the control device further includes an alert module, and the alert module connects to the control module, and issues an alert based on an alert signal which is transmitted by the control module. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The poultry farming light control system according to claim 1, further comprising: one or more elements selected from among an illuminometer, a spectrometer, a temperature sensor, and a humidity sensor; the one or more elements being provided in a sealed farming environment, collecting information indicating at least one of a luminance, a spectrum, a temperature, and a humidity in the sealed farming environment, and transmitting the information to the control device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The poultry farming light control system according to claim 1, wherein the control module controls the light emission state of each of the lighting devices by transmitting the control signal based on the Modbus protocol via the interface module. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The poultry farming light control system according to claim 1, wherein each of the lighting devices includes an RS485 converter circuit corresponding to the RS485 interface, and, after the lighting device receives the control signal transmitted by the control module, causes the RS485 converter circuit to convert the control signal into a serial port command of a microcontroller unit (MCU), to control the one or more of the lighting devices including the lighting device based on the serial port command.
