LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE ARRAY AND LIGHTING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light-emitting device array and a lighting device which can not generate the non-uniformity of light-emitting intensity between a light-emitting device array caused by a disorder generated on a part of the light-emitting device array. SOLUTION: In the light-emitting device array 100 wherein a plurality of LEDs 121, 122 are driven by electric power supplied from a constant-current source 110, the LEDs 121, 122 are electrically connected in parallel at respective groups of the same numbers, and form an LED line 131 having small I(Vf) and an LED line 132 having large I(Vf). The LED line 131 and the LED line 132 are electrically connected in parallel with a positive electrode 111 and a negative electrode 112, respectively, arranged outside the light-emitting device array 100, and the positive electrode 111 and the negative electrode 112 are electrically connected with the constant-current source 110.
