Method for controlling light and system for managing light using the method

A lighting control system detects an object in action entering a lamp-installed region with multiple lamps and estimates a possible stoppage position of the object based on traveling path history information corresponding to the object's identification information. The lighting control system calculates the object's probable traveling path based on the possible stoppage position and selects those lamps to be turned on based on the calculated probable traveling path. The system turns on the selected lamps.
