description In the paper, an embedded system dedicated to control lighting of the workplace is proposed. The construction of the considered lighting system with a power LED (Light Emitting Diode) and the idea of its control are presented. Some results of investigations of the constructed lighting system, particularly those of the measurements of its optical and electrical parameters, are shown and discussed. The presented results show that by using this system, it is possible to obtain a high value of lighting uniformity in the workplace at different values of the main lighting in the room. The control is fast, and none of the reaction times achieved during the tests exceeded even 1 s while ensuring a smooth change. Although the layout and algorithms used are simple, it can be considered an advantage as they do not introduce unnecessary complexity while meeting all the requirements of standards. A discussion of the obtained results is given, particularly in the range of energy savings.
