In a first control mode, a control circuit turns a switching element on and off at a predetermined oscillating frequency and an On time so that a current flows through inductor in continuous mode without a sleep interval. In a second control mode, control circuit fixes oscillating frequency of switching element and changes On time of switching element. In a third control mode, control circuit fixes On time of switching element and changes oscillating frequency of switching element. Second control mode and third control mode are allocated for at least two intervals of intervals into which a dimming range is divided. Control circuit selects first control mode to fully light a light source load, and then, if a dimming ratio is designated, control circuit selects one of second and third control modes according to the interval, to which the dimming ratio corresponds, to dim light source load.
