Lighting module having surface light source and lighting system

Abstract

A lighting system includes a master device for transmitting a light emission control command, and a plurality of lighting modules. Each of the plurality of lighting modules has a surface light source, receives the light emission control command, and drives and controls the surface light source in accordance with control data for its own, the control data being included in the received light emission control command.

1 . A lighting system comprising:
 a plurality of lighting modules each having a surface light source and an external input detection sensor;   a master device connected to said plurality of lighting modules and controlling light emission of each of said plurality of lighting modules on the basis of information acquired by said external input detection sensor.   
     
     
         2 . The lighting system according to  claim 1 , wherein said master device assigns addresses as said information to said plurality of lighting modules, and controls said light emission of said plurality of lighting modules on the basis of said addresses respectively. 
     
     
         3 . The lighting system according to  claim 1 , wherein said external input detection sensor is a touch sensor. 
     
     
         4 . The lighting system according to  claim 3 , wherein said master device has an address mode, and assigns said addresses to said plurality of lighting modules in accordance with detection order of said touch sensor during said address mode respectively. 
     
     
         5 . The lighting system according to  claim 1 , wherein said master device has an operation section provided as a part of said master device or connected to said master device, and controls said light emission of said plurality of lighting modules corresponding to an input operation of said operation section.
