LIGHTING FIXTURE AND VISIBLE-LIGHT-COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH SAME

A lighting fixture is configured to modulate light intensity of a light source (11) comprising a light-emitting device (2) to superpose a communication signal on illumination light of the light source (11). The fixture includes: a main power supply (3) configured to control light output of the light source (11) based on a dimming signal; a switch device (Q1) for modulating an output current supplied from the main power supply (3) to the light source (11); an impedance element (Rx); a communication circuit (7); and a control power supply (8). The communication circuit (7) is configured to control the switch device (Q1) to superpose a modulation signal on illumination light from the light source (11). The control power supply (8) is configured to supply electric power to the communication circuit (7). One end of two input ends of the control power supply (8) is connected to one end of the impedance element.
