A lighting control system which performs a lighting control with respect to each lighting apparatus arranged in a plurality of areas that are within a detection range of a human detection sensor, the system comprising:
- a determination unit which determines presence of a person in any one area among the plurality of areas based on a detection result of the human detection sensor;
- and
- a control unit which performs a control of turning on a lighting apparatus which is arranged in the one area with a first light amount, when a determination result that a person is present in the one area is obtained by the determination unit, and performs a control of turning on a lighting apparatus which is arranged in each area neighboring the one area with a second light amount which is equal to or smaller than the first light amount, when a person is present in the one area for a first predetermined time.
A lighting control method for performing a lighting control with respect to each lighting apparatus which is arranged in a plurality of areas included in a detection range of a human detection sensor, the method comprising:
- determining presence of a person in any one area among the plurality of areas based on a detection result of the human detection sensor;
- and
- controlling turning on of a lighting apparatus which is arranged at the one area with a first light amount, when a determination result that a person is present in the one area is obtained in the determining, and controlling turning on of a lighting apparatus which is arranged in each area neighboring the one area with a second light amount which is equal to or smaller than the first light amount, when a person is present in the one area for a first predetermined time.
