One of the variable time constant circuits provided for each triac, which is operated to change the lighting state in the room according to the purpose of use and which sets the phase control state of each triac. Since it is equipped with a plurality of selection switches equipped with an interlocking prevention mechanism that selectively connects, the dimming degree of each lamp is set in advance when visiting customers, when hanging out, when eating, when reading, etc. You can instantly select the desired dimming pattern by selecting the selection switch according to the purpose of use, so for example, when you suddenly come to a visitor, or when you change from meals to meals. In addition to saving the trouble of setting the dimming level of each lamp by operating the setting dial each time, there is also the advantage that there is no danger of breaking the atmosphere of the place by a short break for the dimming setting. Moreover, since the selection switch is provided with the interlocking prevention mechanism, there is an advantage that there is no risk of accidentally pressing the two selection switches, and basically, the lighting condition of each lamp is controlled by the variable time constant circuit. Since it is controlled, the configuration can be simplified and the cost can be reduced in a small-scale system. Also, since the dials for setting the variable time constants are arranged vertically and horizontally in a matrix in correspondence with each selection switch and the lighting, the relationship between the selection switch and the dial for variable resistance operation can be easily grasped. ,
In addition, next to each selection switch, there is a display showing the purpose of use of that selection switch, so it is possible to clearly understand which purpose each selection switch is for operating the lighting pattern. There is an effect that the illumination pattern can be easily set according to each purpose of use.
