Description

Embodiments of the present invention relate to lighting devices . Traditionally, lighting effects in studios and stages have been achieved using multiple lighting fixtures. A lighting control system has been implemented where a lighting control unit controls each lighting fixture using a control address set on each fixture. In such lighting control systems, the installation and replacement of lighting equipment are performed manually when changing lighting effects or replacing lighting fixtures. For example, in a lighting control system, a series of installation tasks are performed manually, including transporting the lighting equipment to be used into the studio or stage, connecting it to the control system, and associating the dimming faders and other controls on the control unit with the lighting equipment. Incidentally, in such lighting control systems, lighting equipment not used in performances or programs is stored in a lighting warehouse or lighting batten without being connected to a power source. When setting up a new performance or program, the necessary lighting equipment is selected and installed. Here, since the brightness and light changes differ depending on the settings of the lighting equipment, the settings are checked on the control panel of the lighting equipment itself or on a computer screen. However, this requires the equipment to be connected to a power source. Therefore, if the lighting equipment is stored in a lighting warehouse or other location without being connected to a power source, it cannot be checked. This results in the need to check the settings or change them after the lighting equipment has been installed, hindering the installation process. Furthermore, since the lifespan of LED (Light Emitting Diode) fixtures is affected by the power supply duration of the internal control power and the illumination time of the LED light-emitting part, using fixtures with shorter usage times first will extend the product life. However, since illumination time information is not available when selecting fixtures in warehouses, there was room for improvement in terms of convenience. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2014-120351 Figure 1 shows an example of a lighting system 1 according to an embodiment.Figure 2 shows an example of a storage unit 23 according to this embodiment.Figure 3 shows an example of the storage unit 34-1 according to the embodiment.Figure 4 shows an example of the lighting device 30-1. The following describes in detail, with reference to the drawings, the embodiments for implementing the lighting device and relay device according to this application (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments"). Note that these embodiments do not limit the lighting device and relay device according to this application. Furthermore, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals in each of the following embodiments, and redundant descriptions are omitted. The lighting device (lighting device 30-1) according to the embodiment described below comprises a control unit 32-1, an electronic paper display 33-1, a storage unit 34-1, a lighting unit 35-1, and an operation unit 36-1. The electronic paper display 33-1 consumes power when updating the display content, and can continuously display content without consuming power. The storage unit 34-1 stores information related to the lighting device 30-1. The control unit 32-1 controls the lighting unit 35-1 based on the information stored in the storage unit 34-1. The control unit 32-1 also causes the information stored in the storage unit 34-1 to be displayed on the electronic paper display 33-1. Furthermore, the control unit 32-1, as described below in this embodiment, displays information related to the control of the illumination unit 35-1 on the electronic paper 33-1. Furthermore, the control unit 32-1, as described below in this embodiment, displays information regarding the operation of the lighting device 30-1 on the electronic paper 33-1. Furthermore, the control unit 32-1 according to the embodiment described below displays the information entered by the user on the electronic paper 33-1. Furthermore, the control unit 32-1, as described below in this embodiment, updates the display content of the electronic paper 33-1 based on predetermined information transmitted from the control device (dimming control console 10) that controls the lighting device 30-1. Furthermore, the operation unit 36-1, as described below in this embodiment, receives predetermined information from the user. When predetermined information is received via the operation unit 36-1, the control unit 32-1 updates the display content of the electronic paper 33-1 based on that information. Furthermore, the operation unit 36-1 of the embodiment described below updates the display content of the electronic paper 33-1 at predetermined intervals when the lighting device 30-1 is powered on.
