    Abstract: A light-emitting apparatus includes: a light source unit to which constant current corresponding to a dimming level is supplied from a constant current supply (dimming LED driver), and which includes a first light-emitting element column and a second light-emitting element column connected in parallel with the first light-emitting element column; a first detector circuit (resistor) which is connected in series to the first light-emitting element column, and detects a magnitude of a current flowing through the first light-emitting element column; a current adjuster circuit which adjusts a relationship of the magnitude of the current flowing through the first light-emitting element column to the constant current, based on the magnitude of the detected current; and a relationship adjuster circuit (variable resistor) which adjusts the dimming level at a changing point where a relationship of the magnitude of the current flowing through the first light-emitting element column to the dimming level changes.

    Abstract: A lighting device includes a constant-current circuit, a smoothing capacitor, a bypass circuit, a detection unit, and a bypass control unit. The constant-current circuit supplies a constant current to a plurality of solid-state light-emitting elements connected in series. The smoothing capacitor is connected between output terminals of the constant-current circuit. The bypass circuit is connected in parallel to one or more of the plurality of solid-state light-emitting elements. The detection unit detects whether the one or more solid-state light-emitting elements are open-circuited. When the detection unit detects that at least one of the one or more solid-state light-emitting elements is open-circuited, the bypass control unit discharges the smoothing capacitor during a discharge period to then bypass the one or more solid-state light-emitting elements through the bypass circuit.
