A remote light signal control apparatus is disclosed wherein the level of the light output thereof is fixed with a high degree of accuracy and, even when an ALC loop is opened, a laser diode can emit light at a stable level to assure a high degree of reliability of the laser diode. A first control section is provided in one of a light reception section and a light transmission section. The light transmission section includes a second light detection section for detecting a light emitting condition of a light source, a second control section for outputting, in response to light detection information detected by the second light detection section, a light control signal for controlling the state of a light signal from the light source, and a switch section for selectively outputting to the light source one of the light control signal from the first control section and the light control signal from the second control section with which the level of the light signal from the light source is controlled lower than that with the other.
