<p>According to one embodiment, a direct-current power supply device and an LED lighting apparatus are provided in which arc discharge is more certainly detected and versatility can be improved. The direct-current power supply device includes a constant-current circuit, a voltage detection unit, a current detection unit and a control unit. The constant-current circuit is supplied with power by an external power supply and outputs a constant current to an LED. The voltage detection unit detects one of a load voltage and an electric quantity corresponding to the load voltage. The current detection unit detects one of a load current and an electric quantity corresponding to the load current. The control unit reduces or stops the output current from the constant-current circuit if a detected value of the voltage detection unit increases and a detected value of the current detection unit does not at least increase.</p> |
