The invention provides a room lamp management system and method, and relates to the field of control technologies. The system comprises a light detector, a master control loop and inductors; the lightdetector is arranged in the environment of room lamps and detect the external light of the environment of the room lamps; when the brightness of external light reaches a threshold, the master controlloop is triggered to disconnect the room lamps from a power supply, and the power supply stops supplying power to the room lamps; when the brightness of external light does not reach the threshold, the light detector triggers the master control loop to connect the power supply with the room lamps, so that the power supply supplies power to the room lamps; the inductors are arranged adjacent to the room lamps respectively, whether someone enters an irradiation area of certain room lamp is detected, if it is detected that someone enters the irradiation area, a connection line between the room lamp and the power supply is switched on; and if no one is detected to enter the irradiation area, the connection line is switched off. Via the room lamp management system and method, the room lamps can be managed reliably.
