Abstract:
An LED driving apparatus comprising: a power feed unit; a driving control unit; a current detection unit that detects load current flowing in an LED module; and an output control unit that determines whether the LED module is under conducting state or opening state, and outputs a signal in accordance with a result of the determination, wherein, when the LED module is under conducting state, the output control unit outputs a first signal to the driving control unit so that the load current is constant, wherein, when the LED module is under opening state, the output control unit outputs a second signal to the driving control unit so that a voltage becomes a predetermined constant-voltage value, and wherein the predetermined voltage value is a voltage or higher, at which the LED module starts conduction, and a voltage or lower corresponding to an upper limit of the LED.
