Abstract:
A lighting device which can produce various fade operations without significantly consuming memory capacity is provided. Duty ratios for a plurality of steps are recorded in a ROM of a slave ECU. The slave ECU sets an interval time for 1 step, reads out from a map brightness of a next step at each set interval time, and outputs a pulse with the read out duty ratio to a LED. A change duty ratio, a pre-change interval time and a post-change interval time are recorded in the ROM. The slave ECU sets the interval time for 1 step to the pre-change interval time before the duty ratio of the LED reaches to the change duty ratio, and changes the setting by setting the interval time for 1 step to the post-change interval time after the duty ratio of the LED has reached to the change duty ratio.

Claim (Index 1):
A lighting device for adjusting brightness of a light source comprising:\n a first recording part in which a map indicative of brightness and change in brightness with respect to a plurality of steps is recorded, a set part configured to set an interval time for 1 step, a control part configured to read out from the map the brightness for next step at each set interval time, and allow the light source to emit light with the read out brightness, and a second recording part in which a change brightness, a pre-change interval time and a post-change interval time corresponding to the change brightness are recorded, wherein the set part sets the interval time for 1 step to the pre-change interval time before the brightness of the light source reaches to the change brightness, and the set part changes the setting by setting the interval time for 1 step to the post-change interval time after the brightness of the light source has reached to the change brightness.
