LIGHTING CONTROL METHOD AND LIGHTING CONTROL DEVICE FOR SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT EMITTING ELEMENT, AND LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE

The invention provides a lighting control method and a lighting control device for a semiconductor light emitting element, and a light emitting device to reduce the time until the start of the lighting while suppressing the overshoot of the current. The lighting control device carries out lighting control of a semiconductor light emitting element by controlling the current flowing through the semiconductor light emitting element and includes: a switching element serially connected to the semiconductor light emitting element and having a control terminal to control a conductive state; a control circuit to control the control terminal; and the method including: 1, increasing a control voltage of the control terminal of the switching element from an initial value to a first value in a relatively short time by the control circuit; and 2, increasing the control voltage of the control terminal of the switching element from the first value to a second value in a relatively long time by the control circuit. 本发明提供半导体发
