Lighting control device for controlling light emission of plurality of lighting devices by wireless communication, lighting device, photographing system, control method, and storage medium

A lighting device having a light unit that is capable of being on continuously, the lighting device comprising:

• at least one memory that stores a set of instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that is configured to, based on the instructions, cause the lighting device to:
• wirelessly connect to a lighting control device that is configured to control turning on/off of the light unit of the lighting device to perform wireless communication with the lighting control device;
• in a case where a turn-on instruction from the lighting control device is received via the wireless communication, determine whether the lighting device itself is a turn-on target or is not a turn-on target;
• and
• turn off the light unit in a case where it is determined that the lighting device itself is not the turn-on target, and turn on the light unit in a case where it is determined that the lighting device itself is the turn-on target.

A method for controlling a lighting device having a light unit that is capable of being on continuously, the method comprising:

• wirelessly connecting to a lighting control device that is configured to control turning on/off of the light unit of the lighting device to perform wireless communication with the lighting control device;
• determining, in a case where a turn-on instruction from the lighting control device is received by the wireless communication, whether the lighting device itself is a turn-on target or is not a turn-on target;
• and
• turning off the light unit in a case where it is determined that the lighting device itself is not the turn-on target, and turning on the light unit in a case where it is determined that the lighting device itself is the turn-on target.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a computer-executable program for executing a method for controlling a lighting device having a light unit that is capable of being on continuously, the method comprising:

• wirelessly connecting to a lighting control device that is configured to control turning on/off of the light unit of the lighting device to perform wireless communication with the lighting control device;
• determining, in a case where a turn-on instruction from the lighting control device is received by the wireless communication, whether the lighting device itself is a turn-on target or is not a turn-on target;
• and
• turning off the light unit in a case where it is determined that the lighting device itself is not the turn-on target, and turning on the light unit in a case where it is determined that the lighting device itself is the turn-on target.

A lighting control device that is wirelessly connected to a plurality of lighting devices each having a light unit capable of being on continuously and controls turning on/off of the light units of the plurality of lighting devices, the lighting control device comprising:

• at least one memory that stores a set of instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that is configured to, based on the instructions, cause the lighting control device to:
• perform wireless communication with the plurality of lighting devices;
• generate a turn-on instruction for the light unit;
• and
• transmit, to the plurality of lighting devices by the wireless communication:
• the turn-on instruction;
• information on a group to which each of the plurality of lighting devices belongs;
• and turn-on group information including a setting of one of light emission permission and light emission prohibition set for the group.
