Abstract

A diffusion body (10) receives incoming first light (L1) and emits scattered light. The diffusion body (10) has one light-entering surface (10a) through which the first light (L1) enters in a first direction and a first light-emitting surface (10b). The light-entering surface (10a) is formed on an end face of the diffusion body (10). First emitted light (L21) is emitted from the first light-emitting surface (10b). Second emitted light (L22) is emitted from a second light-emitting surface (10c), which is a surface other than the first light-emitting surface (10b) of the diffusion body (10). The intensity of the first emitted light (L21) increases as the emitted direction of the first emitted light (L21) is closer to the first direction. The correlated color temperature of the first light (L1) is lower than the correlated color temperature of the first emitted light (L21) and is higher than the correlated color temperature of the second emitted light (L22).

Abstract

A power supply control unit (2) of the electric power conversion device controls an output voltage (Vo) by performing on/off control of switching components (Q1, Q2) on the basis of an input voltage detection value (Vin), the output voltage detection value (Vo), and a reactor current (IL), and controls the reactor current (IL) such that an input current waveform approaches an input voltage waveform in order to perform power factor improvement control. The power supply control unit performs the power factor improvement control by making an appropriate correction in response to a fluctuation in the input voltage such that the magnitude of a fluctuation in the reactor current (IL) counteracts that of the fluctuation in the input voltage (Vin). Consequently, even in the event of a fluctuation in the input voltage (Vin), a stable step-up/step-down operation can be performed without a fluctuation in the output voltage (Vo).
