Description

本発明は、点灯装置、及びその点灯装置を用いた照明装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a lighting device and a lighting device using the lighting device.

従来の照明装置として、例えば特許文献１には、赤色発光ダイオード、緑色発光ダイオード、青色発光ダイオードを有する照明ユニットと、照明ユニットの各色の発光ダイオードを駆動し且つその光量（照度）を調整するコントロールユニットとを備え、コントロールユニットに各色毎に設けられている操作部を各々操作することで各色（赤，緑，青）の光量を各別に調整して照明光（混色光）の光色（色温度）を可変とした照明装置が記載されている。   As a conventional lighting device, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a lighting unit having a red light emitting diode, a green light emitting diode, and a blue light emitting diode, and a control for driving a light emitting diode of each color of the lighting unit and adjusting the light amount (illuminance).

特開２００８−２９３９４６号公報JP 2008-293946 A

ところで、発光ダイオードを光源とする照明装置（照明器具）は、白熱ランプを光源とする照明装置（照明器具）の代替として使用される場合が多い。ここで、白熱ランプは定格点灯時を１００％として調光比（光量）を低下させたとき、図２（ａ），（ｂ）に示すように光量の低下とともに照明光の色度が黒体軌跡に沿って変化するように色温度も低下する特性を有している。一方、発光ダイオードを調光した場合、光の波長は変化せずに光量のみが変化する特性を有している。   By the way, a lighting device (lighting fixture) using a light emitting diode as a light source is often used as an alternative to a lighting device (lighting fixture) using an incandescent lamp as a light source. Here, when the incandescent lamp reduces the dimming ratio (light quantity) with the rated lighting at 100%, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the chromaticity of the illumination light becomes black body as the light quantity decreases. The color temperature is also lowered so as to change along the locus. On the other hand, when the light emitting diode is dimmed, the light wavelength does not change and only the light quantity changes.

しかしながら、特許文献１に記載されている従来例では、使用者自らがコントロールユニットの３つの操作部を操作して赤色、緑色、青色の発光ダイオードの光量を各別に調整することで混色光の色温度を設定しなければならず、白熱ランプの光量−色温度特性に近い特性で照明光の光量並びに色温度を変化させることは非常に困難である。   However, in the conventional example described in Patent Document 1, the user himself / herself operates the three operation units of the control unit to adjust the light amounts of the red, green, and blue light-emitting diodes, respectively, thereby changing the color of the mixed color light. The temperature must be set, and it is very difficult to change the light quantity and color temperature of the illumination light with characteristics close to the light quantity-color temperature characteristic of the incandescent lamp.

本発明は、上記課題に鑑みて為されたものであり、発光ダイオードを光源とする場合においても白熱ランプに近い特性で照明光の光色及び照度を調整することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to adjust the light color and illuminance of illumination light with characteristics close to those of an incandescent lamp even when a light emitting diode is used as a light source.

本発明の点灯装置は、互いに異なる色の光を放射する複数の発光ダイオードを点灯させ、その合成光の色温度と光量を制御する点灯装置であって、色温度と光量を指示する制御信号が外部から入力され、前記制御信号に対応した直流電圧を出力する制御信号入力部と、前記直流電圧を複数の発光ダイオードを駆動するための駆動信号に変換する駆動信号変換部と、前記駆動信号に従い各発光ダイオードを駆動する複数の発光ダイオード駆動部とを具備し、合成光の色温度と光量の関係が、白熱ランプの定格点灯時の色温度以下の範囲において、色温度を横軸、光量を縦軸としたとき、下に凸となるように連動して増減するように制御信号入力部と駆動信号変換部とが色温度と光量の関係を決定することを特徴とする。   The lighting device of the present invention is a lighting device that lights a plurality of light emitting diodes that emit light of different colors and controls the color temperature and light quantity of the combined light, and a control signal that indicates the color temperature and light quantity is provided. A control signal input unit that is input from the outside and outputs a DC voltage corresponding to the control signal, a drive signal conversion unit that converts the DC voltage into a drive signal for driving a plurality of light emitting diodes, and the drive signal A plurality of light emitting diode driving units for driving each light emitting diode, and the relationship between the color temperature of the combined light and the light amount is less than the color temperature at the rated lighting of the incandescent lamp, When the vertical axis is used, the control signal input unit and the drive signal conversion unit determine the relationship between the color temperature and the light amount so as to increase and decrease in conjunction with each other so as to project downward.

この点灯装置において、前記複数の発光ダイオードは、互いに発光色の異なる２種類の発光ダイオードからなることが好ましい。   In this lighting device, the plurality of light emitting diodes are preferably composed of two types of light emitting diodes having different emission colors.

本発明の照明装置は、点灯装置と、互いに異なる色の光を放射し、前記点灯装置によって点灯される複数の発光ダイオードと、人による操作入力を受け付け、前記色温度と光量を指示する前記制御信号を出力する操作入力受付手段とからなることを特徴とする。   The lighting device of the present invention emits light of different colors from the lighting device, the plurality of light emitting diodes that are turned on by the lighting device, and the control that receives the operation input by a person and indicates the color temperature and the light amount It comprises an operation input receiving means for outputting a signal.

本発明の点灯装置及び照明装置は、発光ダイオードを光源とする場合においても白熱ランプに近い特性で照明光の光色及び照度を調整することができるという効果がある。   The lighting device and the lighting device of the present invention have an effect that the light color and illuminance of the illumination light can be adjusted with characteristics close to those of an incandescent lamp even when a light emitting diode is used as a light source.

（実施形態１）
本実施形態の照明装置は、図１（ａ）に示すように照明光源３と、コントローラ１と、点灯装置に相当する電源ユニット２とで構成されている。照明光源３は、赤色系（Ｒ）、緑色系（Ｇ）、青色系（Ｂ）の３色の発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂを有している。ここで、各色の発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂの光色の色度座標がそれぞれ（ｘR，ｙR），（ｘG，ｙG），（ｘB，ｙB）であり、各発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂの光量がそれぞれＹR，ＹG，ＹBであるとすれば、混色光である照明光の光色の色度座標（ｘ0，ｙ0）及び光量Ｙ0は、下記の数１で表される。 (Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIG. 1A, the illumination device of the present embodiment includes an illumination light source 3, a controller 1, and a power supply unit 2 corresponding to a lighting device. The illumination light source 3 includes light emitting diodes 3R, 3G, and 3B of three colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B). Here, the chromaticity coordinates of the light colors of the light-emitting diodes 3R, 3G, and 3B of the respective colors are (x R , y R ), (x G , y G ), and (x B , y B ), respectively. If the light amounts of 3R, 3G, and 3B are Y R , Y G , and Y B , respectively, the chromaticity coordinates (x 0 , y 0 ) and the light amount Y 0 of the light color of the illumination light that is mixed color light are as follows: It is represented by the number 1.

Figure 2013168383
Figure 2013168383

ここにおいて、発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂについては光量ＹR，ＹG，ＹBを変えても光色（光の波長）が変化しないので、発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂの光量ＹR，ＹG，ＹBの比率を変化させることで混色として得られる照明光(合成光)の光色を変えることができ、また、各発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂの光量ＹR，ＹG，ＹBの比率を保った状態で光量ＹR，ＹG，ＹBを変化させれば、同一の光色において照明光の光量を変えることができる。発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂの光量ＹR，ＹG，ＹBは給電量によって決まるから、後述するように電源ユニット２から各発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂに供給する給電量を増減することで照明光の光色並びに光量を調節することができる。 Here, for the light emitting diodes 3R, 3G, and 3B, the light color (wavelength of light) does not change even if the light amounts Y R , Y G , and Y B are changed, so the light amounts Y R , Y of the light emitting diodes 3R, 3G, and 3B are not changed. By changing the ratio of G and Y B , the light color of the illumination light (synthetic light) obtained as a mixed color can be changed, and the light amounts Y R , Y G and Y B of the respective light emitting diodes 3R, 3G and 3B. If the light amounts Y R , Y G , Y B are changed while maintaining the ratio, the amount of illumination light can be changed in the same light color. Since the light amounts Y R , Y G , and Y B of the light emitting diodes 3R, 3G, and 3B are determined by the power supply amount, the power supply amount supplied from the power supply unit 2 to the light emitting diodes 3R, 3G, and 3B is increased or decreased as described later. The light color and amount of illumination light can be adjusted.

電源ユニット２は、図１（ｂ）に示すように、コントローラ１から制御信号が入力される制御信号入力部２０と、コントローラ１を通じて給電される交流電圧を所望の直流電圧に変換する交流／直流変換部２１と、緑色系の発光ダイオード３Ｇを駆動する緑系ＬＥＤ駆動部２２Ｇと、赤色系の発光ダイオード３Ｒを駆動する赤系ＬＥＤ駆動部２２Ｒと、青色系の発光ダイオード３Ｂを駆動する青系ＬＥＤ駆動部２２Ｂと、制御信号入力部２０に入力される制御信号を、緑系ＬＥＤ駆動部２２Ｇ、赤系ＬＥＤ駆動部２２Ｒ、青系ＬＥＤ駆動部２２Ｂに与えるべき駆動信号に変換する駆動信号変換部２３とを備えている。   As shown in FIG. 1B, the power supply unit 2 includes a control signal input unit 20 that receives a control signal from the controller 1, and an AC / DC that converts an AC voltage fed through the controller 1 into a desired DC voltage. Conversion unit 21, green LED driving unit 22G for driving green light emitting diode 3G, red LED driving unit 22R for driving red light emitting diode 3R, and blue system for driving blue light emitting diode 3B Drive signal conversion for converting the control signals input to the LED drive unit 22B and the control signal input unit 20 into drive signals to be supplied to the green LED drive unit 22G, the red LED drive unit 22R, and the blue LED drive unit 22B Part 23.

３つの駆動部２２Ｇ，２２Ｒ，２２Ｂは全て共通の構成を有するものであって、図１（ｃ）に示すように交流／直流変換部２１の高電位側の出力端と発光ダイオード３のアノードとの間に挿入された限流抵抗Ｒと、発光ダイオード３のカソードにソースが接続されるとともにドレインが交流／直流変換部２１の低電位側の出力端（グランド）に接続された電界効果トランジスタからなるスイッチング素子Ｑ１と、駆動信号変換部２３から出力される駆動信号を波形整形する波形整形回路とで構成される。この波形整形回路は従来周知のものであって、コレクタが交流／直流変換部２１の高電位側の出力端に接続され且つエミッタがスイッチング素子Ｑ１のゲートに接続されたＰＮＰ型のバイポーラトランジスタＴｒ１並びにコレクタがスイッチング素子Ｑ１のゲートに接続され且つエミッタがグランドに接続されたＮＰＮ型のバイポーラトランジスタＴｒ２からなり、並列接続された２つのトランジスタＴｒ１，Ｔｒ２のベースに入力される駆動信号を波形整形してスイッチング素子Ｑ１のゲートに出力する。ここで、駆動信号変換部２３ではオンデューティ比が可変である一定周期の矩形波信号からなる駆動信号を出力することにより、駆動部２２Ｇ，２２Ｒ，２２Ｂのスイッチング素子Ｑ１をＰＷＭ（パルス幅変調）制御して発光ダイオード３Ｇ，３Ｒ，３Ｂへの給電量を調節している。   The three drive units 22G, 22R, and 22B all have a common configuration. As shown in FIG. 1C, the output terminal on the high potential side of the AC / DC conversion unit 21, the anode of the light emitting diode 3, and A current-limiting resistor R inserted between the source and the cathode of the light emitting diode 3 and a field effect transistor having a drain connected to the output terminal (ground) on the low potential side of the AC / DC converter 21. The switching element Q1 and the waveform shaping circuit that shapes the drive signal output from the drive signal conversion unit 23. This waveform shaping circuit is well known in the art, and includes a PNP bipolar transistor Tr1 having a collector connected to the output terminal on the high potential side of the AC / DC converter 21 and an emitter connected to the gate of the switching element Q1. The NPN type bipolar transistor Tr2 has a collector connected to the gate of the switching element Q1 and an emitter connected to the ground. The drive signal input to the bases of the two transistors Tr1 and Tr2 connected in parallel is waveform-shaped. Output to the gate of the switching element Q1. Here, the drive signal conversion unit 23 outputs a drive signal composed of a rectangular wave signal having a constant cycle with a variable on-duty ratio, whereby the switching element Q1 of the drive units 22G, 22R, and 22B is PWM (pulse width modulation). The amount of power supplied to the light emitting diodes 3G, 3R, and 3B is adjusted by control.

コントローラ１は箱形の合成樹脂成形品からなるハウジング１０を有し、ハウジング１０の前面に円筒形状の操作部１１と電源スイッチの操作釦１２が配設されている（図１（ａ）参照）。電源スイッチ（図示せず）はタンブラスイッチや押釦スイッチからなり、交流電源ＡＣから電源ユニット２への給電経路を開閉するものである。ハウジング１０内には操作部１１の操作によって抵抗値が変化する可変抵抗器（図示せず）、可変抵抗器の抵抗値をＡ／Ｄ変換するＡ／Ｄ変換器（図示せず）、Ａ／Ｄ変換器でデジタル値に変換された抵抗値に基づいて制御信号を生成する制御信号生成部（図示せず）が収納されている。   The controller 1 has a housing 10 made of a box-shaped synthetic resin molded product, and a cylindrical operation section 11 and a power switch operation button 12 are disposed on the front surface of the housing 10 (see FIG. 1A). . The power switch (not shown) includes a tumbler switch and a push button switch, and opens and closes a power feeding path from the AC power supply AC to the power supply unit 2. Inside the housing 10 are a variable resistor (not shown) whose resistance value is changed by operating the operation unit 11, an A / D converter (not shown) for A / D converting the resistance value of the variable resistor, A / A control signal generation unit (not shown) that generates a control signal based on the resistance value converted into a digital value by the D converter is housed.

操作部１１はハウジング１０に対して約３１５度（７／４π）の範囲で回動自在に設けられており、前面に形成されているマーク１１ａが６時の位置にあるときに可変抵抗器の抵抗値が最小値となり、当該マーク１１ａが４時の位置と５時の位置の中間位置（４時半の位置）にあるときに可変抵抗器の抵抗値が最大値となる。そして、６時の位置と４時半の位置との間で操作部１１が時計回り及び反時計回りに回動するときに可変抵抗器の抵抗値が直線的に変化し、当該抵抗値に基づいて操作部１１の操作量（マーク１１ａの位置）を知ることができる。制御信号生成部は、可変抵抗器の抵抗値の最小値から最大値までの値と一対一に対応するオンデューティ比を有した制御信号（ＰＷＭ信号）を生成して電源ユニット２に出力する。ここで、操作部１１の操作量、すなわち、制御信号のオンデューティ比が照明光源３の照明光の光色（色温度）に対応している。   The operation unit 11 is provided so as to be rotatable within a range of about 315 degrees (7 / 4π) with respect to the housing 10, and when the mark 11 a formed on the front surface is at the 6 o'clock position, The resistance value becomes the minimum value, and the resistance value of the variable resistor becomes the maximum value when the mark 11a is at an intermediate position between the 4 o'clock position and the 5 o'clock position (position at 4:30). Then, when the operation unit 11 rotates clockwise and counterclockwise between the 6 o'clock position and the 4:30 position, the resistance value of the variable resistor changes linearly, based on the resistance value. Thus, the operation amount of the operation unit 11 (the position of the mark 11a) can be known. The control signal generation unit generates a control signal (PWM signal) having an on-duty ratio that has a one-to-one correspondence with a value from the minimum value to the maximum value of the resistance value of the variable resistor, and outputs the control signal to the power supply unit 2. Here, the operation amount of the operation unit 11, that is, the on-duty ratio of the control signal corresponds to the light color (color temperature) of the illumination light of the illumination light source 3.

電源ユニット２においては、コントローラ１の制御信号生成部から出力される制御信号が、制御信号入力部２０によってオンデューティ比（色温度）に対応した電圧レベルの直流電圧信号に変換され、さらに当該直流電圧信号が、駆動信号変換部２３にて各色系のＬＥＤ駆動部２２Ｇ，２２Ｒ，２２Ｂに対する駆動信号に変換される。駆動信号変換部２３はマイコンとメモリを有しており、直流電圧信号の信号レベル（色温度）、当該色温度に対応する照明光の光色の色度座標（ｘ0，ｙ0）、当該色度座標と対応する各発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂの光量ＹR，ＹG，ＹBの比率、並びに各発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂの光量ＹR，ＹG，ＹBの対応関係を表した変換テーブルがメモリに格納され、当該変換テーブルに基づいてマイコンにより直流電圧信号を駆動信号に変換する。 In the power supply unit 2, the control signal output from the control signal generation unit of the controller 1 is converted by the control signal input unit 20 into a DC voltage signal having a voltage level corresponding to the on-duty ratio (color temperature). The voltage signal is converted by the drive signal converter 23 into drive signals for the LED drivers 22G, 22R, and 22B of the respective colors. The drive signal conversion unit 23 includes a microcomputer and a memory, and the signal level (color temperature) of the DC voltage signal, the chromaticity coordinates (x 0 , y 0 ) of the light color of the illumination light corresponding to the color temperature, The ratio of the light amounts Y R , Y G , Y B of the light emitting diodes 3R, 3G, 3B corresponding to the chromaticity coordinates, and the correspondence relationship of the light amounts Y R , Y G , Y B of the light emitting diodes 3R, 3G, 3B are shown. The represented conversion table is stored in the memory, and the DC voltage signal is converted into a drive signal by the microcomputer based on the conversion table.

ところで、照明光の光色と光量を互いに独立して調節することが可能ではあるが、従来技術で説明したように白熱ランプを光源とする既存の照明装置からの置き換えを考慮した場合、白熱ランプを調光したときに得られる照度（光量）と光色（色温度）の特性を模擬することが望ましい。   By the way, although it is possible to adjust the light color and the light amount of the illumination light independently of each other, the incandescent lamp is considered when replacing the existing illumination device using the incandescent lamp as the light source as described in the prior art. It is desirable to simulate the characteristics of illuminance (light quantity) and light color (color temperature) obtained when the light is adjusted.

そこで本実施形態では、図２（ａ）に曲線イで示す白熱ランプの光量−色温度特性と同様に、定格点灯時の白熱ランプの色温度（例えば、一般的なミニハロゲン電球であれば約２８００Ｋ）以下の範囲において操作部１１の操作量に対応して照明光の色温度並びに光量が連動して増減し且つ照明光の色度が黒体軌跡（図２（ｂ）の曲線ロ参照）にほぼ沿って変化するとともに光量が相対的に大きいときの色温度の変化に対して光量が相対的に小さいときの色温度の変化が大きくなるように各発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂの光量ＹR，ＹG，ＹBを決定している。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, the color temperature of the incandescent lamp at the rated lighting (for example, about a typical mini-halogen bulb is about the same as the light quantity-color temperature characteristic of the incandescent lamp shown by the curve A in FIG. 2A). 2800K) In the following range, the color temperature and the amount of light of the illumination light are increased or decreased in association with the operation amount of the operation unit 11, and the chromaticity of the illumination light is a black body locus (see the curve (b) in FIG. 2B). And the light amount Y of each of the light emitting diodes 3R, 3G, and 3B so that the change in the color temperature when the light amount is relatively small is larger than the change in the color temperature when the light amount is relatively large. R 1 , Y G , and Y B are determined.

而して、コントローラ１の操作部１１の操作量（マーク１１ａの位置）に応じて照明光の色温度が定格点灯時の色温度（約２８００Ｋ）以下の範囲で増減し且つ照明光の色度が黒体軌跡にほぼ沿って変化するとともに光量Ｙ0が相対的に大きいときの色温度の変化に対して光量Ｙ0が相対的に小さいときの色温度の変化が大きくなるように、駆動信号変換部２３で制御信号から駆動信号に変換される。 Thus, the color temperature of the illumination light increases or decreases in the range below the color temperature at the rated lighting (about 2800 K) according to the operation amount of the operation unit 11 of the controller 1 (the position of the mark 11a), and the chromaticity of the illumination light. So that the change in the color temperature when the light amount Y 0 is relatively small with respect to the change in the color temperature when the light amount Y 0 is relatively large and the change in the color temperature when the light amount Y 0 is relatively large. The conversion unit 23 converts the control signal into a drive signal.

上述のように本実施形態によれば、操作入力受付手段（コントローラ１の操作部１１，可変抵抗器，Ａ／Ｄ変換器）で受け付ける操作入力に応じて、電源ユニット２の制御信号入力部２０及び駆動信号変換部２３が、照明光源３の定格点灯時の色温度（本実施形態では約２８００Ｋ）以下の範囲において、操作入力の変化に対応して照明光の色温度並びに光量が連動して増減し且つ照明光の色度が黒体軌跡にほぼ沿って変化するとともに光量が相対的に大きいときの色温度の変化に対して光量が相対的に小さいときの色温度の変化が大きくなるように照明光源３の各発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂの光量を決定するので、照明光源３を発光ダイオードで構成する場合においても白熱ランプに近い特性で照明光の光色及び照度を調整することができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the control signal input unit 20 of the power supply unit 2 according to the operation input received by the operation input receiving means (the operation unit 11 of the controller 1, the variable resistor, the A / D converter). In the range where the driving signal conversion unit 23 is not more than the color temperature when the illumination light source 3 is rated on (about 2800 K in the present embodiment), the color temperature and the light amount of the illumination light are interlocked with the change of the operation input. Increase and decrease and the chromaticity of the illumination light changes almost along the black body locus, and the change in the color temperature when the light amount is relatively small with respect to the change in the color temperature when the light amount is relatively large Since the light quantity of each of the light emitting diodes 3R, 3G, 3B of the illumination light source 3 is determined, the light color and illuminance of the illumination light can be adjusted with characteristics close to that of an incandescent lamp even when the illumination light source 3 is composed of light emitting diodes It can be.

また、図３は電源ユニット２の別の構成を示すブロック図である。この構成においては、制御信号入力部２０から出力される直流電圧信号を各色系のＬＥＤ駆動部２２Ｇ，２２Ｒ，２２Ｂに対する駆動信号に変換する駆動信号変換部２３の機能が各ＬＥＤ駆動部２２Ｇ，２２Ｒ，２２Ｂに搭載され、駆動信号変換部２３が省略されている。   FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing another configuration of the power supply unit 2. In this configuration, the function of the drive signal conversion unit 23 that converts the DC voltage signal output from the control signal input unit 20 into a drive signal for the LED drive units 22G, 22R, and 22B of each color system is the LED drive unit 22G, 22R. , 22B, and the drive signal converter 23 is omitted.

（実施形態２）
本実施形態の照明装置は、図４に示すように実施形態１におけるコントローラ１のハウジング１０内に電源ユニット２を内蔵した点に特徴があり、基本的な構成は実施形態１と共通である。よって、実施形態１と共通の構成要素には同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。 (Embodiment 2)
The illumination device of the present embodiment is characterized in that the power supply unit 2 is built in the housing 10 of the controller 1 in the first embodiment as shown in FIG. Therefore, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same component as Embodiment 1, and description is abbreviate | omitted.

本実施形態においては、操作部１１の操作によって抵抗値が変化する可変抵抗器（図示せず）、可変抵抗器の抵抗値をＡ／Ｄ変換するＡ／Ｄ変換器（図示せず）、Ａ／Ｄ変換器でデジタル値に変換された抵抗値に基づいて色温度に対応した直流電圧信号を生成するコントローラ入力部２４が制御信号入力部２０の代わりにハウジング１０内に収納されている。但し、コントローラ入力部２４から出力される直流電圧信号は実施形態１における制御信号入力部２０から出力される直流電圧信号と共通である。また図４（ｂ）では実施形態１で図示を省略していた電源スイッチＳＷを図示している。   In the present embodiment, a variable resistor (not shown) whose resistance value is changed by operation of the operation unit 11, an A / D converter (not shown) for A / D converting the resistance value of the variable resistor, A A controller input unit 24 that generates a DC voltage signal corresponding to the color temperature based on the resistance value converted into a digital value by the / D converter is housed in the housing 10 instead of the control signal input unit 20. However, the DC voltage signal output from the controller input unit 24 is common to the DC voltage signal output from the control signal input unit 20 in the first embodiment. FIG. 4B illustrates the power switch SW that is not illustrated in the first embodiment.

而して、実施形態１ではコントローラ１と電源ユニット２を別々に設置して給電用の電線と制御信号伝送用の電線で接続する必要があるが、本実施形態ではコントローラ１の設置のみで電線の配線が省略できるという利点がある。   Thus, in the first embodiment, it is necessary to install the controller 1 and the power supply unit 2 separately and connect them with a power supply wire and a control signal transmission wire. There is an advantage that the wiring can be omitted.

また、図５はコントローラ１の別の構成を示すブロック図である。この構成においては、コントローラ入力部２４から出力される直流電圧信号を各色系のＬＥＤ駆動部２２Ｇ，２２Ｒ，２２Ｂに対する駆動信号に変換する駆動信号変換部２３の機能が各ＬＥＤ駆動部２２Ｇ，２２Ｒ，２２Ｂに搭載され、駆動信号変換部２３が省略されている。   FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing another configuration of the controller 1. In this configuration, the function of the drive signal conversion unit 23 that converts the DC voltage signal output from the controller input unit 24 into a drive signal for the LED drive units 22G, 22R, and 22B of each color system is the LED drive unit 22G, 22R, The drive signal conversion unit 23 is omitted.

尚、実施形態１，２では照明光源３として赤色系，緑色系，青色系の３色（３種類）の発光ダイオード３Ｒ，３Ｇ，３Ｂを用いているが、例えば、白色系と赤色系の２色（２種類）の発光ダイオードを用いて照明光源３を構成し、白色系の発光ダイオードの光量と赤色系の発光ダイオードの光量の比率並びに絶対値を調整することで白熱ランプの光量−色温度特性に近似した特性で光量と色温度を変化させることも可能である。この場合、制御対象の発光ダイオードの個数が減ることで駆動信号変換部２３における信号処理が簡素化できるという利点がある。   In the first and second embodiments, the red, green, and blue light emitting diodes 3R, 3G, and 3B are used as the illumination light source 3. However, for example, white and red 2 The illumination light source 3 is composed of light emitting diodes of two colors (colors), and the light quantity of the incandescent lamp-color temperature is adjusted by adjusting the ratio and absolute value of the light quantity of the white light emitting diode and the light quantity of the red light emitting diode. It is also possible to change the light amount and the color temperature with characteristics close to the characteristics. In this case, there is an advantage that the signal processing in the drive signal converter 23 can be simplified by reducing the number of light emitting diodes to be controlled.
