Abstract

To provide a lighting system, a control device, a luminaire, and a vehicle that are capable of accurately monitoring the state of each luminaire in wireless communication with less effort.SOLUTION: A lighting system includes a plurality of luminaires and a control device for controlling each of the plurality of luminaires. When a signal for requesting, to each luminaire, status information which is information regarding the status of the luminaire is defined as a monitoring signal, the control device includes a monitoring unit for performing, on some or all of the plurality of luminaries, an operation of wirelessly outputting a monitoring signal for one of the luminaires and then wirelessly outputting the monitoring signal for another of the luminaires, and a presentation unit for presenting the monitoring information acquired from each of the luminaires. Each of the luminaires includes a response unit fort wirelessly outputting a response signal including its own status information when the luminaire receives the monitoring signal for itself.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
