た。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a remote control control lighting system of this type, a portable remote control transmitter is used to control a lighting mode of a plurality of remote control control lighting fixtures arranged or arranged on a ceiling, a wall or a floor. It was remotely controlled by an infrared remote control signal transmitted from a portable remote control transmitter.

た。However, portable remote control transmitters are generally directional. Therefore, in the remote control control lighting system as described above, it is desirable to transmit the infrared remote control signal toward one remote control control lighting fixture, and it is possible to reflect the infrared remote control signal on the wall or ceiling. At least there was a blind spot where the infrared remote control signal did not reach.

た。Further, when a plurality of remote control controlled lighting fixtures are installed in the same room, the room is generally considered to be relatively large. However, portable remote control transmitters are generally driven by batteries, etc., so the output of infrared remote control signals cannot be very large, and in some cases infrared remote control signals cannot reach remote control light fixtures in the distance. there were.

にかつ確実に遠隔制御できないという問題があった。Due to the above reasons, there are cases where infrared remote control signals cannot be simultaneously transmitted to a plurality of remote control luminaires, and there is a problem of low reliability. Further, when the remote control control lighting device is a fluorescent lighting device, infrared rays are emitted from the fluorescent lamp that is on, and the infrared remote control signal transmitted from the portable remote control transmitter is not so large that the fluorescent light is fluorescent. There is a problem that infrared rays emitted from the lamp may interfere with the remote control lighting equipment and the remote control lighting equipment cannot reach the remote control lighting equipment simultaneously and reliably.
