PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a discharge lamp lighting device having a simple structure, and capable of preventing the rate of light modulation from being changed against the intention of a user even when an instantaneous power fault occurs, in a discharge lamp lighting device changing the rate of light modulation of a discharge lamp by the on/off operation of a power switch. SOLUTION: When an operator carries out an off first operation turning on/off the power switch, this discharge lamp lighting device sequentially tentatively changes the rate of light modulation of the discharge lamp like Sd=114 or Sd=113 at a predetermined time interval from a value (Sd=115) set up to then. When the operator carries out an off second operation (settlement operation) after the off first operation, the discharge lamp lighting device settles the rate of light modulation (Sd=112) in the off second operation within the rates of light modulation being tentatively sequentially changed, and continues to light the discharge lamp at the settled rate of light modulation (Sd=112) from then on.
