A lighting device includes: a first lighting control circuit; a second lighting control circuit which controls the first lighting control circuit; a first control power supply which supplies a first voltage to the first lighting control circuit; a second control power supply to which the first voltage is supplied and which supplies a second voltage to the second lighting control circuit; and a reset circuit which (i) when the reset circuit detects that the first voltage decreases to a first threshold or lower, causes the second control power supply to stop supply of the second voltage, and (ii) when the reset circuit detects that the first voltage increases to a second threshold or higher and that the second voltage is higher than a third threshold, causes the second control power supply to start supply of the second voltage after the second voltage decreases to the third threshold or lower.

Lighting device and luminaire

A lighting device () includes a voltage converter () for generating a predetermined DC voltage, a detector () for obtaining a detection voltage corresponding to a predetermined DC voltage applied across a light source (), a controller () for controlling the voltage converter () so that a current flowing through the light source () is constant, and a determination unit () for determining whether the detection voltage is a preset first reference voltage or higher. The first reference voltage is set higher by a specified voltage than the detection voltage, and is set to vary more slowly than the detection voltage. The controller () stops an operation of the voltage converter () when the detection voltage is determined to be the first reference voltage or higher through the determination unit ().
