A plurality of light emitting diode elements (LED elements) are arranged in one direction in the LED module 80, and the plurality of LED elements are electrically connected in series, in parallel or in series-parallel. As shown in FIG. 1, the lighting device 10 includes a circuit board 20 and an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 14 which sandwich the circuit board 20. As shown in the plan view of FIG. 2, the luminaire 1 includes a circuit board 20 having a rectangular outer shape. The upper cover 11 covers the surface of the circuit board 20 as shown in FIG. 2 and does not cover the end of the circuit board 20. On the other hand, the lower cover 14 has the same length as the circuit board 20.

  The circuit board 20 is provided with various circuits including the step-up chopper circuit 41 and the buck converter circuit 42 described in FIG. 3, that is, these circuits are lighting circuits for lighting the LED module 80. An input terminal block 12 is provided at an end of the surface of the circuit board 20 on the side of one short side 20 c. An output terminal block 22 and a control terminal block 30 are provided side by side at an end on the other short side 20 d side of the surface of the circuit board 20. As shown in the side view of FIG. 1, the output terminal block 22 is provided with a positive output terminal 24 and a negative output terminal 26 aligned in the plane direction of the circuit board 20, and these terminals are connected to the output side of the buck converter circuit 42. doing. The positive electrode output terminal 24 and the negative electrode output terminal 26 are terminals to be connected to the LED module 80. The control terminal block 30 includes a plurality of terminals 31 to 36 arranged in the planar direction of the circuit board 20. The positive electrode output terminal 24, the negative electrode output terminal 26, and the plurality of terminals 31 to 36 are arranged in this order in the plane direction of the circuit board 20.

  The plurality of terminals 31 to 36 have a reference potential terminal 31 connected to the ground, an output terminal 32 for outputting the signal from the LED control circuit 70 to the outside, and a signal from the outside to the LED control circuit 70.
