Claim Text:
1. A lighting control method for use in a lighting control system, the lighting control system including a plurality of lighting devices each including visible light sources for emitting visible light based on dimmer levels of the respective lighting devices; and at least one local device including a visible light sensor for measuring an amount of visible light in the at least one local device, one of the lighting devices and the at least one local device including an invisible beam emitting source for emitting invisible beams simulating characteristics of visible light, and another of the lighting devices and the at least one local device including an invisible beam sensor for measuring an amount of invisible beams emitted from the invisible beam emitting source, the lighting control method comprising: acquiring an influence coefficient of each of the lighting devices on the at least one local device based on the measured amount of invisible beams and the measured amount of visible light, wherein the influence coefficient represents an influence level of the each of the lighting devices on the at least one local device; and acquiring a dimmer level of each of the visible light sources based on a corresponding one of the influence coefficients to control the amount of the visible light measured at a position of the at least one local device such that the measured amount of the visible light reaches or approaches a target lighting amount of the at least one local device.
