An object is to provide an organic electroluminescent light emitting device and a lighting apparatus capable of applying a reverse voltage to an abnormal light emitting element reliably such that a refresh current flows in the abnormal light emitting element, thereby restoring the abnormal light emitting element avoiding stress on a normal light emitting element. A light emitting device 100 includes a PFC circuit 2 to which a direct current power is supplied from a diode bridge DB configured to rectify an AC power supply 1; a step-down chopper circuit 4 configured to convert a voltage output from the PFC circuit 2 into a voltage supplied to a light emitting element; a forward/reverse inverting circuit 6 configured to switch an electric current supplied to the light emitting element 8; a light emitting element current detection circuit 11; a light emitting element voltage detection circuit 12; drive ICs 13 and 14; and a microcomputer 16. The light emitting device 100 also has a light emitting element voltage-current control circuit 7 configured to control a voltage and an electric current of the light emitting element 8. |
