1. A lighting control system for a vehicle, comprising:
an armrest rotatably mounted on a seat of the vehicle, the armrest mounted to be rotatable with respect to the seat, the seat being stationary;
a switch mounted on the armrest and configured to emit light;
a position recognizer installed in the switch to sense angular position information of the armrest; and
a controller configured to receive the angular position information and to adjust an intensity of light emitted by the switch based on the angular position information;
wherein the controller controls the switch to performs fade-out based on the angular position information so that the intensity of light emitted by the switch is gradually decreased when the armrest is rotated in a first direction, and
the controller controls the switch to perform fade-in based on the angular position information so that the intensity of light emitted by the switch is gradually increased when the armrest is rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
