<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lighting device for a vehicle miniaturizable even if the device is used for both a winker and a position lamp. <P>SOLUTION: In Fig.(a), a flashing control means is stopped and a continuous lighting control means is operated based on the information that a time reaches a point c, and as shown in Fig.(b), a continuous lighting is performed. The continuous lighting is performed at 8 V. The output of the lighting device is determined by the product of the current and the voltage. When the current is constant, and the voltage during the flashing is 12 V and the voltage during the continuous lighting is 8 V, the output during the continuous lighting is 8/12=66.7%. Since a heating amount is proportional to the output, the heating is suppressed to 66.7% during the continuous lighting, and the rise of the temperature of the lighting device can be suppressed. Consequently, even if the lighting device is used for both the winker and the position lamp, the device can be miniaturized. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
