Disclosed is a lighting apparatus using an LED as a light source. The lighting apparatus may include: a first driver configured to control a flow of a first current through a low-power switching element by comparing a reference voltage and a sensing voltage, in response to light emission of an LED group; and a second driver configured to form a flow of a second current through a high-power switching element in connection with the flow of the first current of the first driver, in response to light emission of the LED group.

The lighting apparatus may secure a charge voltage by performing a charge operation using a current corresponding to a rectified voltage equal to or more than a preset level, and compensate for the rectified voltage provided to a lighting unit including LED groups by performing a discharge operation for the charge voltage in response to the rectified voltage less than the preset level, thereby reducing flicker.
