A device for turning on light allowing the brightness of an inverter-type illumination apparatus to be adjusted without having to install an additional oscillation circuit. The device comprises an active converter which generates a DC voltage from the commercial AC voltage and an inverter which switches the generated DC voltage, includes a capacitor connected in parallel with a discharge tube to be lighted, and supplies a high-frequency current to the discharge tube via a resonance circuit whose resonance frequency is determined according to the equivalent impedance of the discharge tube. The active converter has a triac adjusting the DC voltage, and switching elements of the inverter perform self-oscillation under control of the phase of the resonance current flowing through the resonance circuit.
