Abstract

Disclosed are a lighting apparatus and a lighting control system. The lighting apparatus includes a heat radiation frame, at least one light emitting device on the heat radiation frame, a diffusion frame provided on the heat radiation frame to protect the at least one light emitting device and diffuse a light emitted from the at least one light emitting device, and a support frame provided under the heat radiation frame and having a receiving space to receive at least one module. The module includes a wireless communication module to transmit or receive a control single of the at least one light emitting device. The power supply module is physically separated from the wireless communication module.

Claims
