Abstract
In order that a power supply device capable of identifying the type of a connected LED light output device and outputting voltage or current suitable therefor completely eliminates the need to provide an additional circuit for the type identification on the LED light output device side and requires only a power supply cable for the connection, in an unconnected state with the LED light output device, electrical continuity between a second terminal to be connected to the cathode of an LED and a ground is cut, and when a transition from the unconnected state to a connected state is made, the voltage of the second terminal is measured to, on the basis of the measured voltage, identify the type of the connected LED light output device with the electrical continuity between the second terminal and the ground kept cut.
