Abstract

An LED lighting device 2 according to this embodiment includes a lighting circuit that supplies a current to an LED, and a dimmer 7 that generates a PWM signal for controlling the supply of the current to the LED from the lighting circuit, in which the dimmer 7 feedback-controls the PWM signal that controls the supply of the current to the LED by comparing the output current to be output to the LED with a target current and feedforward-controls the PWM signal according to a fluctuation of an input voltage from a commercial power supply 1.
