Abstract:
Provided is a control circuit (modulation circuit) that receives output current determined based on a dimming signal, from a lighting device, consumes, as consumption current, part of the output current, and supplies supply current to a light-emitting element. The control circuit includes a regulator circuit that regulates the consumption current. The regulator circuit monotonously increases a magnitude of the consumption current relative to a magnitude of the output current.

Claim (Index 12):
The control method according to  claim 10 ,\n wherein in the regulating, the magnitude of the consumption current is caused to be proportional to the magnitude of the output current.
