  • Patent number: 8952627
    Abstract: An illuminating device includes a plurality of kinds of LEDs that emit light having different color temperatures; a plurality of LED lighting circuits that independently light the LEDs for each color temperature of emitted light; and a control unit that selects a first control changing illuminance of the LEDs as a whole by controlling the lighting of the LEDs and a second control changing the colors of light of the LEDs as a whole by controlling the lighting of the LEDs, and corrects an illuminance difference generated before and after the second control.

  • Publication number: 20130293144
    Abstract: A light source lighting device includes a first light source 1, a second light source 2 having a color temperature lower than a color temperature of the first light source, the color temperature of the second light source being 2500 to 3200 K, a lighting circuit 3 configured to light each of the first and second light sources, and a control unit 4 which is capable of selecting a fadeout mode for continuously dimming and fading out both the first and second light sources and, when the fadeout mode is selected, in a period of a latter stage controls the lighting circuit to increase a light amount of the second light source to be larger than a light amount of the first light source.

  • Publication number: 20130293134
    Abstract: An LED lighting device includes a plurality of kinds of LEDs 1 and 2 having different color temperatures, an LED lighting circuit 3 configured to light each of the plurality of kinds of LEDs, and a control unit 4 configured to control an LED lighting circuit to simultaneously dimmably light the plurality of kinds of LEDs, subject the plurality of kinds of LEDs to dimming control through pulse width control in a deep dimming region where a dimming degree is equal to or lower than 20%, and subject the plurality of kinds of LEDs to the dimming control through amplitude control in other dimming regions.

  • Publication number: 20120119651
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a lighting device includes an LED lighting circuit and an LED load constituted by a plurality of parallel circuits formed by connecting a plurality of LED elements in parallel, and a series circuit formed by connecting the parallel circuits. The series circuit is connected with an output terminal of the lighting device. In case one LED element becomes open fault mode in one of the parallel circuit, the other LED elements continue lighting. In case two or more LED elements become the open fault mode, the other LED elements also become the open fault mode, and all the LED elements turn off.
