Abstract:
A controller circuit is configured to adjust the number of light-emitting diodes that a current flows from a rectifier circuit through so that: the number of light-emitting diodes, which are lit, of the plurality of light-emitting diodes increases according to a value of a pulsating voltage during a time period that the value of the pulsating voltage increases; and the number of light-emitting diodes, which are lit, of the plurality of light-emitting diodes decreases according to the value of the pulsating voltage during a time period that the value of the pulsating voltage decreases. Light-emitting diodes, which start to emit light by a higher voltage value, of the plurality of light-emitting diodes are disposed at a position nearer to an outside of a mounting region of a substrate than light-emitting diodes, which start to emit light by a lower voltage value, of the plurality of light-emitting diodes.
