Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize an element and a device by reducing the peak value of a rush current and by lowering the required current rating of a switch element. SOLUTION: This device is so structured that a phase control operation is performed to a semiconductor switch element (b) with a control signal synchronized with an A.C. power source E from the outside, so that the phase of the power applied to an incandescent lamp load L from the A.C. power source E is controlled, and thus, light modulation is performed. In this case, a voltage provided by dropping the voltage of the A.C. power source E by means of a power transformer (d) is applied to the switch element (b) and the incandescent lamp load L during the period that a filament through which a rush current flows at the startup of the device by the use of a timer circuit T1, a relay RY1 and the power transformer (d) is cool, and after the temperature of the filament sufficiently rises and the rush current does not flow any longer, the voltage of the A.C. power source E is applied to the switch element (b) and the incandescent lamp load L as it is, not passing through the power transformer (d), by switching over the relay.
