Multiple normal lighting distribution boxes 1 are electrically connected to the normal lighting distribution board 3 in parallel, and multiple emergency lighting distribution boxes 2 are electrically connected to the emergency lighting distribution board 4 in parallel. The normal lighting distribution board 3 is located in the distribution board room on the second deck of the engine room, and the emergency lighting distribution board 4 is located in the emergency generator room. The switches on the normal lighting distribution board 3 and the emergency lighting distribution board 4 correspond to the respective normal lighting distribution boxes 1 and emergency lighting distribution boxes 4. Box 2 is equipped with a power monitoring module 6. The normal lighting distribution board 3 and the emergency lighting distribution board 4 are both equipped with a built-in PLC transmitting module 7. The central monitoring system signal acquisition box 5 is equipped with a built-in PLC receiving module 8. The PLC transmitting module 7 is communicatively connected to the PLC receiving module 8. The power monitoring module 6 transmits the real-time power signal of the corresponding distribution box to the central monitoring system signal acquisition box 5 via the PLC transmitting module 7. The central monitoring system signal acquisition box 5 is communicatively connected to multiple computers 9. The computers 9 are located in the central control room. The computers in the central control room record the power usage of the lighting system and generate a summary report of the lighting system energy consumption data to draw conclusions on the energy-saving effect.

[0022] The input terminal of the normal lighting distribution box 1 is connected to the normal lighting distribution board 3. The normal lighting distribution box 1 has multiple output terminals, which are respectively connected to the first lighting circuit, the second lighting circuit, and the third lighting circuit.

A dynamic sensing sensor 12 and multiple energy-saving lamps 13 are connected in series in this circuit. The dynamic sensing sensor 12 automatically detects crew movement and switches the lighting on and off accordingly, achieving automatic control of the lighting system. The lighting automatically turns on before crew members enter the infrequently visited areas and automatically turns off after they leave, reducing energy consumption. The third lighting circuit illuminates the cargo hold area, engine room area, and all outdoor areas. This circuit includes multiple energy-saving lamps 13.
