Abstract
According to an aspect of the invention, a lighting control method is conceived for controlling the illumination of a working area, wherein an RFID-enabled light sensor attached to said working area measures incident light on the working area, and wherein an RFID-enabled luminary periodically reads the measured incident light from the RFID-enabled light sensor and adapts its light level in dependence on the measured incident light, such that a predefined illumination level on the working area is maintained.
Claims18
A lighting control system for controlling illumination, comprising:
- an RFID-enabled light sensor configured to measure incident light, and
- an RFID-enabled luminary configured to receive RFID signals from the RFID-enabled light sensor, and
- wherein the RFID-enabled luminary is configured to periodically receive RFID signals containing measured incident light readings from said RFID-enabled light sensor and
- wherein the RFID-enabled luminary is configured to adapt the luminary's light level in dependence on the measured incident light, such that a predefined illumination level is maintained.
A lighting control system for controlling illumination of a working area, said lighting control system comprising
- at least one RFID-enabled light sensor coupled to said working area and
- at least one RFID-enabled luminary,
- wherein the RFID-enabled light sensor is arranged to measure incident light on the working area, and
- wherein the RFID-enabled luminary is configured to periodically read, via a RFID connection to the RFID-enabled light sensor, the measured incident light and to adapt its light level in dependence on the measured incident light, such that a predefined illumination level on the working area is maintained.
