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 5):
The lighting device according to  claim 1 , further comprising\n a slave device having the first recording part, the set part and the control part, and a master device communicable with the slave device and having the second recording part, wherein the master device transmits a control signal to the slave device, the control signal including the change brightness and the pre-change interval time corresponding to the change brightness, wherein, in accordance with reception of the control signal, the set part of the slave device sets the interval time for 1 step to the pre-change interval time until the brightness of the light source reaches to the change brightness received from the master device, wherein the master device transmits a next control signal to the slave device after the transmitting of the control signal and before the brightness of the light source reaches to the change brightness, the next control signal including the post-change interval time corresponding to the change brightness, and wherein, after the brightness of the light source has reached to the change brightness, the set part of the slave device changes the setting by setting the interval time for 1 step to the post-change interval time received from the master device, according to the reception of the next control signal.
