LED lighting circuit and led luminaire

摘要

According to one embodiment, an LED lighting circuit includes a lighting circuit provided between an external power supply and LED elements and a control circuit that controls the lighting circuit. The lighting circuit includes an electrolytic capacitor, the capacitance of which decreases to be lower than a rated value or the impedance of which increases to be higher than a rated value at temperature equal to or lower than -20°C. The control circuit performs an initial lighting operation under a temperature environment equal to or lower than -20°C.
