Abstract
An illumination apparatus is provided for outputting a light of mixed colors in a desired color temperature by controlling light outputs from light sources. The illumination apparatus includes a light output setting unit for outputting a set signal presenting a set value for adjusting an output of the light of mixed colors, and a first filter for smoothing the set signal from the light output setting unit. The illumination apparatus further includes a light output adjustment unit for adjusting the light outputs from the respective light sources based on the set signal smoothed by the first filter, and a plurality of second filters smoothing signals outputted from the light output adjustment unit to the light sources, respectively. Each of time constants of the second filters is lower than that of the first filter.
