In order to add an emergency light function to a fluorescent LED lighting device, thereby increasing safety during a power outage, this LED lighting device, which can be mounted between a pair of sockets for fluorescent lighting, is equipped with a first power supply circuit, which lights the LED using direct current power obtained by converting/rectifying alternating current power supplied from the sockets, and a second power supply circuit, which lights the LED using an embedded battery. An embedded SW controller detects that a sudden drop in the current value or the voltage value in the lighting device, from a prescribed value Von when the lighting switch is turned on to a value that is essentially zero, occurs within a prescribed time T. When the sudden drop oc-curs two or more times in the prescribed time ( Figure 5 ), it is determined that a normal operation of turning off the light has been performed, and the light is turned off, and when the sudden drop occurs only once during the prescribed time ( Figure 6 ), it is determined that a power outage has occurred, and the LED is lighted as an emergency light using the second power supply circuit. |
