Since electrodes need to be subject to preheating before lighting in a fluorescent lamp, a preheating device such as a glow starter is necessary and it takes a long time to complete lighting. Further, in a fluorescent lamp of a cold-cathode type, which is lit up by applying high voltage between electrodes without preheating, although lighting is instantly carried out, a large ballast having a chalk coil and the like is necessary, thereby increasing the cost. Besides, since it is necessary to fill mercury steam and Argon gas in an arc tube, the material of the arc tube is limited to glass having high resistance to pressure and high hermeticity. An LED chain body 2 formed by connecting a plurality of LED lamps 3 via flexible members 4 is inserted into a transparent or translucent tube 1.
