<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To precisely dim and light a semiconductor light emitting element with simple constitution. <P>SOLUTION: The lighting device for the semiconductor light emitting element includes control means for performing OFF control to a switching element Q1 when a current flowing through the switching element Q1 reaches a predetermined value and performing ON control to the switching element Q1 when discharge of energy accumulated in an inductor L1 is completed after the switching element Q1 is turned off. The control means dims the semiconductor light emitting element 4 either by intermittently stopping operation for detecting the completion of the energy discharge from the inductor L1 at a low frequency, or intermittently generating a state in which a detected value of the current flowing through the switching element Q1 reaches the predetermined value at a low frequency. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT</p> |
