Abstract

Disclosed are a filament device for an illumination device, the illumination device, and a dimming method for the illumination device. The illumination device comprises: a dimming unit electrically connected to an external power supply, a first illumination unit which is electrically connected to the dimming unit and to which an input voltage from the external power supply is applied, a second illumination unit which is electrically connected to the dimming unit and to which an input voltage from the external power supply is applied, a unidirectional conduction unit electrically connected to the first illumination unit and the second illumination unit, a first current-limiting unit electrically connected to the first illumination unit; and a second current-limiting unit electrically connected to the second illumination unit, wherein the amplitude of the input voltage varies on the basis of a phase-cut angle of the dimming unit, when the amplitude of the input voltage varied on the basis of the phase-cut angle satisfies a first predetermined condition, the unidirectional conduction unit is in a turn-on state, and the illumination device operated in a first operation mode; and when t…
