Abstract

A two-wire load control device prevents load malfunctioning, such as erroneous emission of an LED, due to a leak current, even when loads not taking countermeasures against noise are connected. The load control device is connected in series between a commercial power source and a load and an off power supply for ensuring an inner power supply at the time of turning off the load is provided with capacitors, which are switched to be connected in series or parallel, based on an input voltage. The control device makes the capacitors repeat charging and discharging, and a power discharged from the capacitors is used as the inner power supply, thereby reducing standby power requirement of the load control device at the time of turning off the load.
