まうことがあるという欠点があった。2. Description of the Related Art The present applicant has developed a high-frequency constant-current power supply system in which a current transformer is used to supply a fluorescent lamp from a power supply line through which a high-frequency constant current flows, so that the fluorescent lamp is lit. (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 64-5360). Unlike the constant-voltage power supply method, the high-frequency constant-current power supply method does not allow an excessive current to flow through the load, so the life of the fluorescent lamp can be significantly extended, and the value of the high-frequency constant current flowing through the power supply line must be adjusted. Thus, there is an advantage that the light control of the fluorescent lamp can be stably performed. However, if the value of the high-frequency constant current flowing through the power supply line is reduced, the dimming can be stabilized up to about 70% of the rated value, but below that, the discharge of the fluorescent lamp suddenly stops and disappears. There was a disadvantage.

なうことができる。When the output current of the high-frequency constant current power supply for the heater power is the rated value, the heater current determined by the winding ratio of the two current transformers for the heater flows through the heater of the fluorescent lamp. The discharge current, which is determined by the output current value of the high-frequency constant current power supply for discharge power and the winding ratio of the discharge current transformer, flows, and the fluorescent lamp lights up at the rated value. When the dimming signal becomes lower than the rated lighting, only the output current value of the high-frequency constant current power supply for discharge power decreases, the discharge current of the fluorescent lamp decreases, and the fluorescent lamp gradually darkens. Since only the output current value of the high-frequency constant current power supply for discharge power decreases without the output current of the high-frequency constant current power supply for heater power decreasing, light can be stably adjusted to a range close to 0%. When the output current value of the high-frequency constant current power supply for discharge power is reduced to a predetermined value or less and the output current value of the high-frequency constant current power supply for heater power is increased, the dimming in a range close to 0% is achieved. Can be performed more stably.

Further, even if the output current value of the heater power supply 1 is maintained at the rated value to the end without increasing from the middle, the dimming of 0 to 100% is possible. In short, when the output current value of the discharge power source 2 is reduced and the fluorescent lamp 7 is darkened, the output current value of the heater power source 1 is maintained at the rated value without being reduced, or is maintained. By gradually increasing to 0
This means that a stable dimming of １００100% becomes possible. In addition, the frequency of the output current of the heater power supply 1 and the discharge power supply 2 is set to 65 kHz. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the influence on other equipment and the ease of designing the current transformer are considered. In consideration of this, the frequency can be appropriately set in the range of about 1 to 100 kHz, and it is not always necessary that both have the same frequency.
