Abstract: An illuminating apparatus includes a first light emitter, a second light emitter which emits light including more predefined color components than light emitted by the first light emitter, and a lighting device which supplies current modulated according to a visible light communication signal, to the first light emitter. The lighting device supplies a constant current to the second light emitter, while the first light emitter is supplied with current.

Abstract: A lighting device includes a rectifier circuit, a conversion circuit and a control circuit. A first inductor of a first series circuit and a second inductor of a second series circuit have inductances by which a time period, during which a diode is electrically conducted, is made shorter than a half period of a resonance period of a closed loop circuit. The closed loop circuit includes a first capacitor, the first inductor, a second capacitor and a third capacitor. The control circuit is configured to control a switching element in such a manner that the switching element is turned on at fixed periods.

Abstract: A lighting device includes: a DC power supply circuit which supplies a light-emitting element with a first voltage; a signal generation circuit which generates a control signal based on a visible light communication signal; a current control element which is connected in series to the light-emitting element and turned on and off based on the control signal; a DC power supply control circuit which causes a second voltage at a first node between the light-emitting element and the current control element to be a constant value, by controlling the DC power supply circuit based on the second voltage; and a first feedback circuit which supplies the DC power supply control circuit with the second voltage. The first feedback circuit supplies the DC power supply control circuit with a predetermined voltage in a period in which the current control element is off.

Abstract: Lighting apparatus includes: AC/DC converter which converts AC voltage Vac to DC voltage Vdc; DC/DC converter which converts DC voltage Vdc to a DC voltage to be applied to LED; and detection circuit which detects AC voltage Vac. DC/DC converter includes switching element, and control circuit that performs a control of repeatedly turning on and off switching element in a boundary conduction mode. Control circuit performs the control under which ON time Ton is kept from exceeding an upper limit that is previously determined, and raises the upper limit when AC voltage Vac detected by detection circuit falls below a predetermined value. ON time Ton is a period of time during which switching element is kept ON.
