Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lighting device capable of preventing a light source from being subjected to an excess electrical stress, and a luminaire including the lighting device.SOLUTION: The lighting device includes plural DC-DC converters 21 and 22. Each of the plural DC-DC converters 21 and 22 includes: plural light-emitting diodes 41-45; and switches 51-55 for switching the connection between the light-emitting diodes 41-45 and the plural DC-DC converters 21 and 22. The difference in the rated voltage among the light-emitting diodes 41-45 which are connected to the common DC-DC converters 21 and 22 is set to be smaller than the difference in the rated voltage among the light-emitting diodes 41-45 which are connected to the DC-DC converters 21 and 22 being independent from each other. 【課題】 光源に過剰な電気的ストレスが加わりにくい点灯装置及び該点灯装置を具備する照明器具を提供する。【解決手段】 複数個のDC−DCコンバータ21,22を備える。各DC−DCコンバータ21,22には、それぞれ、複数個の発光ダイオード41〜45と、発光ダイオード41〜45とDC−DCコンバータ21,22との接続を切り替えるスイッチ51〜55とが接続されている。互いに共通のDC−DCコンバータ21,22に接続される発光ダイオード41〜45間の定格電圧の差は、互いに異なるDC−DCコンバータ21,22に接続される発光ダイオード41〜45間の定格電圧の差よりも小さくされている。【選択図】図1
