Lighting systems, operating devices, and lighting equipment

Abstract

To provide a lighting system, an operating device, and a lighting device that can continue operation control more reliably even when a failure occurs in a control device.SOLUTION: A lighting system A1 including a plurality of lighting devices L, an operating device Od, and a control device Ct has a normal mode and an emergency mode. In the normal mode, the operating device Od transmits operation information corresponding to an operation performed on an operating unit 11; the operation information is transferred to the control device Ct via the lighting devices L; the control device Ct transmits control information based on the operation information to the lighting devices L; and thereby the lighting devices L are controlled. In the emergency mode, the operating device Od transmits control information corresponding to an operation performed on the operating unit 11 to the lighting devices L, and thereby the lighting devices L are controlled.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
