Lighting device, lighting fixture and lighting system

摘要

A lighting device includes an electricity storage electrically connected in parallel with a solid light source, a switching circuit that produces a current to supply the current to the electricity storage, and a control circuit that controls, according to a dimming level, burst dimming by controlling the switching circuit so that the solid light source is lit intermittently. When the dimming level is a threshold level or more, the control circuit sets an electricity storage capacity of the electricity storage to a first capacity, and sets a frequency by the burst dimming to a first frequency. When the dimming level is below the threshold level, the control circuit sets the electricity storage capacity to a second capacity smaller than the first capacity, and sets the frequency by the burst dimming to a second frequency higher than the first frequency.

主权项

1. A lighting device, comprising:
an electricity storage that has a variable electricity storage capacity and is configured to be electrically connected in parallel with a solid light source; a switching circuit that is configured to produce a current to supply the current to the electricity storage; and a control circuit that is configured to receive a dimming level for adjusting a light output of the solid light source and to control, according to the dimming level, burst dimming by controlling the switching circuit so that the solid light source is lit intermittently, the control circuit comprises:
an electricity storage controller that is configured to vary an electricity storage capacity of the electricity storage, the electricity storage controller being configured to set the electricity storage capacity of the electricity storage to a first capacity when the dimming level is a predetermined threshold level or more, and to set the electricity storage capacity of the electricity storage to a second capacity smaller than the first capacity when the dimming level is below the threshold level; anda signal modulator that is configured to vary a frequency by the burst dimming with respect to the switching circuit, the signal modulator being configured to set the frequency by the burst dimming to a first frequency when the dimming level is the threshold level or more, and to set the frequency by the burst dimming to a second frequency higher than the first frequency when the dimming level is below the threshold level.
