Light plays an important role in people's lives, since a person is forced to be in artificial lighting conditions most of the time. Therefore, lighting should provide a comfortable environment for work and study. Many manufacturers of lighting equipment, and lighting designers are thinking about optimizing the lighting environment and equipment functions that can improve the quality of human life. To achieve this goal, research is being carried out in the field of creating lighting solutions that meet the needs of various groups of the population, for example, supporting circadian rhythms, the influence of the spectral characteristics of light sources on increasing productivity. The purpose of this work is to review the hardware and software that are used in the future development of adaptive lighting systems. The article describes the hardware and software, which were used to determine the psycho-emotional state of the user when creating an intelligent multi-user adaptive lighting system.
