(Automatic) lighting control system


Explanation:
I would suggest 'lighting control system'. I don't think that there's an exact word or phrase in English for this system. You could also add 'automatic', but that seems implicit in the sentence, i.e.

"The central computer regulates the main switches, and turns-off the lights (that have been forgotten) from time-to-time (the so-called lighting control system)".
