Abstract
A control system is disclosed for an electric tool and a lighting device. The control system includes a first control circuit and a sensor for the electric tool and a second control circuit for the lighting device. The sensor is configured to generate a sensor signal depending on a value of an operating parameter of the electric tool. The first control circuit is configured to transmit information relating the operating parameter value to the second control circuit depending on the sensor signal. The second control circuit is configured to control a light source of the lighting device depending on the transmitted information to emit one or more light pulses, wherein a pulse parameter relating to a pulse duration, a pulse amplitude, a frequency, and/or a duty cycle of the light pulses, and/or emitted light intensity, depends on the operating parameter value.
