发明名称 LIGHTING DEVICE AND ILLUMINATION APPARATUS USING THE SAME
摘要 In first mode, controller is configured, when receiving a dimming instruction signal, to control voltage-adjusting part to provide a DC voltage with a magnitude corresponding to a luminous level, across output ends of DC power supply, and apply a control voltage with a magnitude kept constant to a control terminal of switching element. In second mode, controller is configured, when receiving the dimming instruction signal, to apply the control voltage with a magnitude corresponding to luminous level to the control terminal of switching element, and control voltage-adjusting part to provide the DC voltage with a magnitude kept constant, across the output ends of DC power supply. Controller is configured to operate in one of first and second modes when luminous level is predetermined level or more, and in the other of first and second modes when luminous level is less than predetermined level.

主权项 1. A lighting device, comprising: a DC power supply comprising a voltage-adjusting part that is configured to adjust a magnitude of a DC voltage, the DC power supply being configured to provide, across output ends thereof, the DC voltage adjusted by the voltage-adjusting part; a switching element connected in series with at least one light emitting element across the output ends of the DC power supply, the switching element including a control terminal, and being configured to adjust a current flowing through the at least one light emitting element according to a magnitude of a control voltage that is applied to the control terminal; and a controller having a first mode and a second mode, the first mode being, when receiving a dimming instruction signal of setting a luminous level for the at least one light emitting element, of controlling the voltage-adjusting part to provide the DC voltage with a magnitude that corresponds to the luminous level, across the output ends of the DC power supply; and applying the control voltage with a magnitude that is kept constant to the control terminal of the switching element, the second mode being, when receiving the dimming instruction signal, of: applying the control voltage with a magnitude that corresponds to the luminous level to the control terminal of the switching element; and controlling the voltage-adjusting part to provide the DC voltage with a magnitude that is kept constant, across the output ends of the DC power supply, the controller being configured to operate in one of the first and second modes, when the luminous level is a predetermined level or more, the controller being configured to operate in an other of the first and second modes, when the luminous level is less than the predetermined level.
